surprising nobody, the Harris campaign was giving lots of money to various liberal personalities before their shill interviews. MSNBC is claiming it's unaware that the Harris campaign had gifted or I shouldn't say gifted. We'll try to be careful. But given five hundred thousand dollars to an organization run or founded by Al Sharpton ahead of their friendly interview. Apparently, she gave Oprah Winfrey Studios a million dollars, and they claimed that was just for production, just for production. Uh-huh, that's how it works. And then when you pay a company for production,

portions of that go to the production company as profit, I'd imagine. Or at any rate, it's paying the salaries. At any rate, it's a conflict of interest to have someone interview and to pay their costs. Can't send anybody surprise. Kamala has put out a statement recently and she looks like she aged 10 years overnight. It's kind of wild. So we'll talk about that. Plus they're explaining all the different reasons why they didn't go on the Joe Rogan podcast. And they have a lot of excuses. Yeah, we didn't have time. We

really wanted to do it, but we couldn't. So we'll talk about that. Plus there's a whole bunch of other stories. Walmart has canceled their DEI in a major, major blow to wokeness. And we had that story about tariffs the other day. Within a couple hours, Trudeau calls Trump to negotiate. And now the Mexican president is saying the caravans will not be reaching the United States. So looks like Donald Trump's not even in office, but already he's doing very well. Head over to castbrew.com and pick up a Cast Brew Coffee. And I got news. I don't know if we have the sale on today, but there's going to be a big Black Friday sale on Friday, obviously. And so we're not going to – this is our last show for the week because we're all going to be with family and friends.

That's actually why I was in the D.C. area. I decided to come on by to TimCast tonight, and it seems like there's a lot of crap to give them for, especially right now. And just on the ride over here, looking at the video, I saw the

first thing I walked into the studio, I see Kamala Harris and her drug-fueled whatever up on the screen in here, and I was amazed. She's back on the grid, apparently. I had to read a quote earlier today from Kamala Harris, it's just she she says one thing with 800 words and I'm just I was something you can say with 10 you know she's she draws it out yeah what does she think it sounds more intelligent like what what is it why does she feel like she has to draw it out that way fluff and patter fill time I guess I don't know? I don't know. But it'll be fun. Thanks for hanging out, man.

We'll talk about that. We got Brett hanging out. What's going on, guys? Yes, Brett here. I host Pop Culture Crisis Monday through Friday. Normally, 3 p.m. Eastern Standard Time, but we actually had our Thanksgiving Day special today, so after you watch this episode tonight, you should go check that out. Yes, you should. I am Phil Labonte.

I'm the lead singer of the heavy metal band All That Remains. I'm an anti-communist and a counter-revolutionary. Tim? Today, Kellan's pressing the buttons. Oh, there we go. Yeah, I'm over here in the corner pushing buttons. Let's get started. You're not averse to talking and saying hi?

I'll talk a little bit. I'll talk a little bit. Come on. We got a story from Fox News. MSNBC was unaware the Harris campaign gave $500,000 to Al Sharpton's group ahead of a friendly interview. The Harris campaign gave two $250,000 donations to Sharpton's nonprofit. Holy crap. So it was to the National Action Network, which is, I guess it's his nonprofit.

That's a lot of money. And boy, is that a massive conflict of interest. Is he going to use it to pay his taxes now? No. No? No. And he's not going to give it to anybody that got hurt in the riot that he stirred up in the 80s.

Here's the quote. Today is your birthday, he said. We all reflect on our birthdays, what our life would mean. You call me on my birthday. Thanks again. What do you want 50 years from now history to say about Kamala Harris? Before I read this, let me just ask you. Phil, what do you want people to say about you 50 years from now?

That they enjoyed some of the music that I made and they enjoyed some of the conversations that I've had. Okay. Let me try and convert that into Kamala Eves. I hope that 50 years from now, there are people who look back at the past 50 years and think about how long 50 years has been. And the work that I have done over 50 years is really important. And that the conversations we had in the span of that 50 years, as long as I was around, is something that 50 years is worth. Okay, she said, I hope, okay, here's the quote, I hope that and I really do work that my life

will have proven to have been a life that is about fighting for people, fighting for the dignity of people. Could she not have just said, when he asks 50 years from now, what do you want people to say about you? That I fought for people. Kamala Harris is a wordsmith. I don't know if wordsmith is the right way to describe it.

She beats the shit out of words. She's a word abuser. But it sounds like she spent all this time in Hawaii last week. She was there for a week, came back looking about at least 10 years older, which is really impressive. Yeah, Hawaii is very relaxing. Right, well, except for when you're there

for the reasons that I was there. Well, yeah, you were there. But anyway, she goes out there, she comes back and apparently learned nothing. Nobody learned anything while they were out there. She didn't learn how to speak. Why would she? So they go on to mention that she paid Oprah's company a million, was it a million dollars, right?

I actually believe it came out that it's now 1.5. It says the campaign made two $500,000 payments to Oprah Winfrey's opera productions. And then the full price of the event was closer to 2.5. The full price of the event was closer to 2.5. So let me just, you know, I know this for the rabble, as the MSNBC and the New York Times might describe them. The rabble are completely unaware of how media works and why this is such a big deal. If you are going to be interviewed, especially if you are a political individual, a politician or running for office, you you cannot pay in any way.

I'll tell you a story. We had a journalist come to my office a long time ago and I said, we have drinks. And he goes, oh, no, I can't. I can't. I can't accept anything. Said, OK, journalist ethics for these companies, they can't accept gifts in any in any degree or any kind or anything. You can't even give them a soda. I'm not kidding. They say, I can't accept something from you. It's a conflict of interest. We're going to tell the story. And so this is literally Oprah and Al Sharpton getting what, five hundred thousand or a million bucks For the friendly interview, that's the part that I found the most interesting about that, is using the term friendly. So I was actually talking about it earlier, because there was like a new poll that came

out today from, it was posted on Breitbart, that was talking about all of the celebrities that got money, or that were involved in the campaign, the Beyonce's, the Taylor Swift's, whether it's just posting on social media or not. And you think about $500,000, a million dollars for a friendly interview. But the thing is, is that's not what people want now. What people want now is a three hour raw interview because that takes risk, right? So if she's going to go to Oprah or she's going to go and do an interview with Al Sharpton, what she's paying for is not just production, or we would hope wouldn't be considered just production. It's because they're people that you know are going to be positive towards your message

and what you're talking about, but it costs you nothing to go on Joe Rogan and speak for three hours. And Joe Rogan's not using a teleprompter. Trump isn't using a teleprompter. And what people want is the authenticity that comes from that interview. It costs you less.

It gains you more ground. But the problem is you actually have to be coherent when you talk. Let me throw another thing about this. They're trying to say that this is just covering production costs, like she was putting on a show or whatever. Two and a half million dollars. I mean, either way, you can't do that. It's a conflict of interest for these media personalities and these news outlets. But another way to look at it is, let's say legitimately that money just goes

to cover the costs of that event. Let's say Brett runs a media company. He's eight months into the year and he's got a $1 million profit. And along comes politician who says, I want to do an interview and a big show. You will have me, good luck. He says, man, it's going to cost me a million dollars to put this show on. That's all my profit for the year.

I don't want to do it. Then the politician says, we'll cover the cost. And they go, OK, now we'll do it. Basically, what's happening is you are still paying them to do the event. They can just assign the money for that event, which is in excess of the money they already have. So let me put it this way. Brett says, okay, I'll do the show, takes his million dollar profit, invests it in the show,

and then a month later gets paid out a million dollars. That should technically be his profit, but he just assigns that to cost and says, no, no, no, no, it just costs.

My money came from something else. You think you could have done that? You watched that interview, I'm assuming, right? Or at least parts of it, because I mean, I don't think I could get through that entire interview either, but two and a half million dollars. Do you think you could have done that for two and a half million assuming right or at least parts of it because i mean i don't think i could get through that entire interview either but two and a half million

dollars you think you could have done that for two and a half how much was oprah's fee that's that's what that's what i'm saying so you see that interview on the street with her where a tmz or somebody comes up to her and asks her hey did you get paid a million dollars and she says very clearly i didn't get paid anything no because the production company that is a single single member llc that you are the sole member of got paid two and a half million dollars. So you didn't get paid anything. I want to give a shout out to this super chatter. Jessie Mann says she talks like she is trying to hit the 5K word minimum on a high school paper.

What if like the Democrats are just like, Kamala, whatever you do, we need at least a thousand words per speech. And she's like, okay. And she's like counting in her head like one, two. Just a running total going ting ting ting take a look at this video Savannah Hernandez posted this saying damn this woman has aged 10 years in like two weeks seriously

you know I'm not trying to be a dick but look at this I just have to remind you the lighting isn't doing her any favors either don't you ever let anybody take your power from you don't anybody do it you have the same power that you did before November 6th. She's drunk.

She's got to be drunk. And you have the same purpose that you did. All those eyes are so low. And you have the same ability to engage and inspire. Oh, dude, she is strong. No way. So don't ever let anybody or any circumstance take your power from you. This sounds like every old woman that I've sat next to at the bar

that's trying to give me a life lesson. This is exactly what they sound like. We'll just chill real quick, just very quickly. I am not trying to be mean. Yo, she legit sounds plastered. Words are soft as she finishes talking. That's a hallmark of this. This is a gift.

This is a gift for us. This is her apology for wasting our time and this is a gift. She's like, here, enjoy the memes that will come from this. But she doesn't have

any script writers anymore. She doesn't have anybody doing any production work because she's $20 million in debt. She's going to finish with like I gotta push back on that. I'm, okay. I'm, you did it.

I'm going to have to ask you. You have a credit card? Do I have a credit card? I do, yes. Do you have any money? Do you have a debt on it? I do not. So it's all paid off?

All paid off. Okay. Do you have a car loan? No. A mortgage? No. I know what you're trying to do here. Do you have rent?

Do you owe anybody money? At the moment, I don't. But I know exactly what you're talking about. That doesn't mean you have no money. How does she pay it off? I know it doesn't. But she's got to pay it at some point, right? She owes people $20 million. Where is't mean you have no money. How does she pay it off? I know it doesn't, but she's got to pay it at some point, right? She owes people $20 million.

Where is she going to get that money from? She's going to get it from people that she's emailing now. Unless she still has $30 million in her account. Is that possible? Are those financials available? I don't know.

That's not what it says on the FEC report, but I don't know. How much does the FEC report say she has in holdings? So the FEC report, I didn't see any cash on hand on the FEC report.

All you see is because, but the problem is you also have so many other entities. You have the PACs, you have the super PACs, you have the Kamala fight fund, and then you also have the Kamala Harris for president fund. So you have all these different funds. You don't really know, but at this point for the past two reports that she's filed, because you have to file a 15 day post, and then also there's going to be a 30 day post. So we're going to see very shortly if she actually still has that debt moved. Is there less debt? I don't know.

But how do you end? You've got to think about it. They are fundraising. They're fundraising for a false promise. For a recount. Right. I see that as a false promise. So they fundraise for a recount, and the argument from the press was that it's for other recounts

in Congress or something to that effect. But when I saw the statement— There's a disclaimer on the bottom. It tells was that it's for other recounts in Congress or something of that effect. But when I saw the statement— There's a disclaimer on the bottom. It tells you what it's for. Well, what I saw initially from their announcement of a fundraiser, it just said recount fundraiser. It didn't say anything about any other campaigns. Yeah. I mean, if you remember back in 2020 when Trump was fundraising and stuff, after the 2020 election, there was also a thing there, too, where the Democrats were hitting him because like 3% of it were going to paying back campaign debt. And so – but in this case, the percentage is a lot higher for going to pay back campaign debt because that's what it's actually for.

I mean – but you even have to think about it. OK, if you have $1.5 billion in cash on hand, say we get to the 30-day mark and they still have massive amounts of debt. Say they paid down $5 million in debt. What does that do for the Democrat Party at that point? Because they're on the hook for it. Somebody's got to pay for that. No. Why not?

They're just going to file for bankruptcy and then move on? The campaign is going to cease to exist. Okay, but who's going to give $20 million of credit to the Democrat candidates at this point if they're not going to be paid back? Every single company. They typically do pay back. I mean, they typically end up doing that. When if an entity has a million dollars

and you know and you see in the press and everyone knows they have a million dollars and they let's let's say Kamala says we want to we want to hire a production company. It's 100 grand. Say, OK, it's 10,000 or it's 25,000 down. And then you got to pay the next half once on the day of. And then we have like a you know, you have two weeks to pay the rest. So likely a lot of this debt is not just they took out a credit line for a million bucks and then never paid them anything. They likely made down payments and semi-payments and still owe them remaining on the books. It's probably a bunch of different entities they owe partial each to. So these companies each see them paying a sum. It's not like someone one day went to an organization

that was completely broke and said, we'll extend you a $20 million line of credit. It's probably what's going to happen in the future is a democratic campaign is going to raise a billion dollars and everyone's going to beg to work with them because they're going to get paid. They get paid stupid amounts of money to work on these campaigns. And then if the company ends up going in debt, everybody expects this. If they're like, if she wins, we're good. If she loses, we're in trouble. Yeah. But at what point do you look at this from the standpoint of, okay, do you really want this person in control of the federal budget when you go? I mean, you know, I mean, like she's not the end of the day, even if even if there's still cash on hand to pay off that 20 million dollars in debt.

I don't know why you wouldn't just, you know, pay. But but again, I I got I'll push back on that a little bit. They argue that Donald Trump has several bankruptcies. Therefore, he shouldn't be in charge of the federal budget. But it's like, look, if the Harris campaign and Democrats did mismanage money, OK, fine. But everyone keeps saying, ha ha, she's $20 million in debt. And I'm like, Donald Trump, I think, has more debt than she does. I think Donald Trump's debt is substantially higher. He's also got assets to back it. So the question is, what are Kamala Harris's campaign's assets? But look at it.

$1.5 billion over a three-month period. She managed to blow through that and still get blown out of water in the election. That would be my counter-argument to that. Clearly, she can't manage money. They have no idea how to use it effectively. They're going to pay Beyonce, what, $10 million or whatever, millions of dollars to Oprah, and it didn't move the needle. And if it did move the needle, she was down in the 20-point range, and they managed to

bring it up a little bit. You can't buy authenticity you cannot buy authenticity and the fact that she like the like i had a point i lost it never the other thing about it is is like for for her the number one way that a politician like her can end up making her money back after an election like this is to go give really really overpriced speeches but nobody she can't talk. Nobody wants to hire her for a speech. I mean, maybe if she was charging per word, then it might do really, really well. But otherwise...

So you're talking about the managing money and stuff like that. Congress does the management of the money anyway, so it doesn't really matter if she does it. Let's talk about the current state of the Democratic Party. We got this story from the Postmillennial. DNC union launches GoFundMe

after staff cut without severance. Last week, two-thirds of the DNC staff was laid off with little notice and no severance the go fund me page states hold on hold on i got i got i got questions about this is this is a team fundraiser jill brownfield and 10 others organizing this saying as such we are creating a relief fund which will directly aid staff members including single parents this is a fundraiser with 17,891 i have to imagine that this is verified by gofundme because they're not going to allow someone to fraudulently raise money but let's let's just understand what this means if it is true that the dnc laid off two-thirds of its staff the implications for the for the midterms and for 2028 is massive. So do you still believe they have cash on hand?

The DNC is different from the Harris candidate. No, I understand that. So this is the DNC union, though. This is the staff union that has to raise the money for it. But the point is this. The DNC laid off two-thirds of their staff. That were promised that they would have work until the end of the year.

Wow, really? Yes. So the DNC actually nuked this 66% of the staff? Yes. I think it got to the point where, and it was the same for the Harris campaign, they were also win or lose, they were promised they would be paid until the end of the year. I've worked in politics for several years now. I sort of understand how this works at this point.

You can do that in state politics. Even if you have a losing campaign, the idea is you still pay those people. You can't cut them off at the last second and expect them to survive. These are just low-level staffers. I don't care. I don't care either. These people are either completely delusional

or they're liars, so I have no sympathy whatsoever, and I wouldn't give them a penny if they begged. They got scammed, though. I don't care. You't i don't care you you don't get to join a group of bank robbers and go oh no they tricked me right you're real come on these people they've been supporting this corrupt machine and and propping up a candidate kamala harris who didn't get elected who was put in place they lied about it every step of the way

they covered up that joe biden's brain was fried these people deserve nothing absolutely and i am glad they got laid off, but my point is holy crap, the DNC just nuked two-thirds of their staff. Is that normal? I have never heard of it. Not even it didn't happen in 2020 after the Democrats are done. The Democrats

have really done a lot of damage to their brand overall. Look, they'll sit there and they say democracy, but they, you know, snow jobbed Bernie for Hillary. Then Biden was questionably, you know, he won the primary allegedly, but he did it by promising, you know, both Warren and Buttigieg cushy jobs and stuff. And then the situation with Biden and Harris, like they haven't had a legitimate primary

in the past three elections. You know, so, and then they talk about the, you know, oh, our democracy, et cetera. And even though Donald Trump clearly won with, you know, the entire country shifting right, not only did he win, you know, the entire country shifting right. Not only did he win, you know, the Electoral College and the popular vote, but, like, there was massive gains for Republicans in California. The whole country shifted right.

The Rio Grande Valley. Yeah, I mean, it's insane the amount of, you know, the amount of right swing that was ubiquitous across the whole country, the house the senate and the presidency and there are people that still say oh well you know our democracies uh is in danger it's like you fools like the if the demo if our democracy is in danger you are the danger yeah i don't i don't give them the benefit of the doubt anymore i don't assume that i used to assume that the people who would talk about democracy without understanding what they did to bernie in 2016 uh trying to get somebody elected who didn't win a single delegate ever at all the fact like i used to give them the benefit of the doubt i don't anymore if you're somebody who

screams about democracy with a capital d all the time now i just assume you're evil i want to the way that they talk about democracy is reminiscent of the way that Mao used the term democracy in China. It was their democracy. People that were not members of the Communist Party were not part of their democracy. There was no, I mean, of course there was no democracy in Mao's China, but like people that were considered rightists or on the right, they were all excluded. They weren't talking about them. Just whenever you hear a Democrat say democracy, replace it with the word revolution.

Nobody's buying it anymore. Actually, you saw Elon replace the word the other day. He said, instead of threat to democracy, we're threats to bureaucracy, which I think is much more accurate. That is the real threat here, which is fine with me. When you look at Venezuela, what do they say? They say this person

is a threat to the revolution. Even though that revolution happened 20 years ago, they still refer to it as now is a threat to the revolution. And even though that revolution happened 20 years ago, they still refer to it as now like it's an ongoing thing. Why? Because the revolution will never end. The revolutionaries who take over and then excise the popular, you know, these people from the population have to maintain the threat to control everybody. So imagine a Democrat saying Donald Trump is a great threat to our democracy. Donald Trump is a great threat to our revolution. They're communist Marxist ideologies or whatever it is.

And guess what? They're done. They're nuking staff. You've got liberals on television jumping ship like scared rats. It's funny to watch. It was all of a sudden John Stewart, Bill Maher and many others. You're talking to Cenk from TYT on XCO. I mean, the guy is getting he's coming on the show.

Oh, really? Oh, that's awesome. I can't wait for that. We've had him on before. I'm excited. I think Anna's a bit more genuine, but I'll give Junk an opportunity to come around because we need people like him to at least open the door for all of his audience

to see what's really going on. I'll take it. Yeah, and I will say, just on this topic one more time real quick, I don't know if you heard about this today, but there was a phone call between the DNC and donors today that are up in arms over what they just see here. They see this GoFundMe. They see the fact that the campaign is just totally out of money. What do you spend $1.5 billion on in three months?

I mean, that is a record by far. It's not even close. And now they're saying that they had to admit, they were forced to admit, that not a single poll that they had, not a single internal poll ever had her leading Donald Trump. Not one. I saw that myself. You're 100% right. And also, the Democrats are the ones that are going to constantly scream about money

in politics. Donald Trump won on something like a third of the money that the Harris campaign had, or at least- I think it was $600 million. I think it was total. So two thirds in two years. Yeah. In, in two years.

And, and, and the Harris campaign had a billion dollars, nevermind the packs, nevermind all of the other stuff, because she was the only candidate that could take the money that was given to, uh,

the Biden campaign and, and actually continue when he stepped, when he stepped down or whatever you want to call it. But the Democrats would still swear up and down that money in politics is a bad thing. Barack Obama spent a billion dollars. Hillary Clinton spent a billion dollars. And Kamala Harris, in three months or whatever, spent a billion dollars.

And still, Donald Trump beat two of them. You know what this is with Democrats right now? It's like a bunch of high school kids, and they're sitting in the room, and they're not cool. They're losers and they don't know what's popular. And so they're just going like, oh, I love that new band. And then the cool kids are like, the band sucks.

Like, yeah, it sucks. I've always hated that band. So when you look at how these media personalities are now reacting, all of a sudden they're waking up to what's going on. It's because they saw the popular vote count. Yeah. I will add to this. Did you guys know that Hillary Clinton never won the popular vote? Oh, really? Well, the Democrats are arguing Trump didn't win the popular vote because he's dipped below 50 percent. And I'm like, that's funny. Hillary Clinton had forty eight point two. So Hillary Clinton, they claimed on the popular vote by three million for nearly 10 years. And now they're claiming Trump didn't because he's

slightly below 50 percent%. He's actually at 50%. But, hate to break it to you, he won the popular vote. That's just, I was talking to a friend of mine, that's just semantic cope. At this point, at what point do we stop? At what point are we like, okay, you know what, these are the results, we're not going to

keep counting. You'll get California, still count, still to this day, how many weeks after the election, still counting ballots in California? That that's ridiculous they count faster in india yeah that's totally ridiculous some billion people there it's wild and and and in china china yeah they count much faster yeah they do um and another thing is like the... She is just like, I counted it. That's for me. It was 99% for some reason. The state of Florida made massive changes after 2000 when there was the whole hanging chads, etc. And since then, they have had no issues with counting their ballots. They finished counting the ballots two hours and 45 minutes after the polls closed in Florida.

And they've offered help to any state that wants. Any state, they're like, we will show you, come take a look at how we do our stuff. You're more than welcome. You don't have to do the exact same thing. You know, the things are going to be different from state to state, and maybe there's conditions that are different in your state than ours, but we'll come and help you out. And no one's taking them up on their offer, particularly the states like California that are still counting ballots. And the reason is because they don't want to actually count ballots quickly and accurately.

They want that. They want that fuzziness. They want that squishiness because then they can cheat. I pulled up India's election system and it's like date of counting votes fourth of june they get we get one day for 984 million votes yeah but you see i want to i'm going to keep factoring this because i'm sure someone's gonna be like no tim you don't understand it's like okay fine let me read about it but there's that one race in california right now where all of a sudden the seat is looking like it's going to flip now all of a sudden thousands of votes difference this congressional seat in

in california and they seat in California, and they keep counting the votes, and they're counting a total of 180 a day. What are you doing all day? You can only count 180 ballots a day. Somebody in the chat needs to do the math for me here. India counts all of its votes, which is

968 million eligible voters. So let's see. They say 642 million voters participated. It took them one day. One day. Yeah eligible voters. So let's see. They say 642 million voters participated. It took them one day. One day. Yeah. All right. So congratulations, America.

We have fallen behind India. It is a choice. It is not something that's impossible to do. It is a policy choice by Democrat states, because you don't see this kind of stuff happening in red states. It's an actual policy choice. They say, oh, we have to do it. We have to take this long to count.

We can only count 120 ballots a day because democracy. And so somebody like Ron DeSantis, he's like, okay, we're an open book down here. Come and audit the elections in Florida. We do it in one day and we get it right. You guys have no complaints down here. Exactly. Come and look at it. Why can't you replicate our system?

Because it's a choice. Because they don't want to be accurate and quick. They don't want to be efficient. They like the squishiness. That's the only option. Also, they know that most of the eyes are off of it after the main election, right? So after the presidential election, it gives them time for leeway, for congressional seats, for the Senate.

All of those things that are just as important if we're coming right down to it. Who controls the House? Who controls the Senate? That's very important, but with half of the scrutiny that goes on during the presidential election. Absolutely, and that's why these soon-to-be prisoners up there in Bucks County, Pennsylvania thought they could get away with it

by trying to flip that Senate seat back Democrat from Bob Casey. I mean, they were egregious about it. I'm sure you guys talked about it on the show. They were openly saying that they were going to violate the law. She walked that back, though. She got scared. Of course she did.

You can't go on camera and admit to violating election laws. No. And I don't know if you saw that hearing. Yeah, the hearing that Scott Pressler went and spoke about. He spoke at that hearing afterward and said, I'm going to take your seat from you. I'm going to move here, and I'm going to take your seat from you. I'm going to move here and I'm going to run for your seat. I saw the Scott tweeted out the CNN story

they did about him. Oh yeah, they tried to get him on there. They called him controversial. I'm like, what? He's got long hair. He's a controversial dude in politics. He just got appointed to the White House press correspondent for CNN though, didn't he? Aha. But whatever.

But yeah, well, let's let's let's let's talk about CNN. We got this. Let's jump to the story. We have a funny post here from Julio Rosas. Scott Jennings pointing out X is more ideologically balanced to get this. Again, the far left brain boiled liberal mindset cannot handle the fact that X under Elon Musk's ownership is the most balanced political politically in for social media. And the source is actually CNN. Check this out. Let me play this clip for you first. I heard what you're saying about X. I saw a survey this week. It's now the most ideologically balanced. Oh, come on. User platform. Scott, stop. Stop. It's now the most ideologically balanced user platform.

Scott, stop. It's too early. I just sat down. I've only been here for two minutes. I cannot stand these deluded, deranged people. I took stop. Stop talking. Stop talking.

Dude, let him finish his point. He is correct. You cannot say that. Who is the source? Who is the source of that? We've reported it on this network. It's not accurate, and you know it. You know what? CNN isn't accurate. I'm going to give her that one. CNN is not accurate. Here you go. Twitter slash X is because he wanted to make it his own platform, remake it in his own image.

And I think this really gets at it. Look at this. The party ID among those who regularly use X slash Twitter for news. Back in 2022, 65% of those who regularly used Twitter slash X for news were Democrats. Just 31% were Republicans. Look at where we are today. Just a completely different picture. Now it's basically split between Democrats at 48%, Republicans at 47%. And what I should note, Mr. Berman, is this now this new overall makeup matches the overall electorate far better. And I just want to say two things. First, bravo to Elon Musk, because he did what he set out to do.

And I want to ask all of you that with this Thanksgiving coming up in just a few days, when this clip pops up on your YouTube, share it and play it with your liberal aunt, uncle or family members and tell them with dispassionately and calmly and with familial love, just say, listen, family, brother, uncle, father, whatever. You know, I love you. I need you to just watch this because there's a couple of things to consider. In the first clip, they say that's not true. X is not politically balanced. Scott Jennings says it's been reported on this network to say that's not true. So you can conclude one of two things. Either Elon Musk actually did bring about balance to X politically or CNN is wrong.

Actually, any conclusion you come to is CNN is wrong because they can't both be right. Well, apparently what this proves to me is that even CNN doesn't watch CNN. Looking at those numbers is very easy to see. Look, 47% up from 31%, which

means that some people were unbanned and everyone from the Dem Party just went over to blue sky. Well, this is probably well before that move, but I do think it's hilarious that Democrats are like, we're going to go to threads on Instagram. They declared victory when they did. They were all over there, but like, this is

so much more fun. And then how long did it take? Like three days and they were back on X? Well, they're all the same. The same thing has happened on Blue Sky where they all go over. And now Blue Sky reported something like hundreds of thousands of reports.

They're all giving each other banned. Child abuse images appearing on the platform and other really messed up things. So suspicious. Good job, Jack Dorsey. So Blue Sky, they reported the other day and said, guys, I know we're not doing a very good job on the platform and other really messed up things. So suspicious. Good job, Jack Dorsey. And so Blue Sky, they reported the other day and said, guys, I know we're not doing a very good job with getting back to reports because, you know, in the past 24 hours, we've had 40,000 reports.

And to put that in perspective, we've only had 300,000 in the past year. And so the Democrats, the left, has already gone over there. And obviously it's an echo chamber. Nobody on the right is around Blue Sky. And so they're all reporting each other over there. I mean, it's an echo chamber. Nobody on the right is over on blue sky. And so they're all reporting each other over there. I mean, it's wild. Which is funny too, because it was better for them to,

look, a lot of them are addicted to the conflict. They need to have the engagement with other people. That's actually good for them because it gets you out of your ideological echo chamber to be on a platform where you're consistently arguing with each other. If the point is that you log into X and everything you see is from some

right-wing account, that's because that's who you're interacting with. And it's better for your brain to be interacting with people that you disagree with rather than going over to blue sky or threads and just having a bunch of people who all agree with each other all the time in between getting each other banned because somebody said one thing that they don't like. And you know what? This tells me right here that the Democrats, the left, learned nothing from November 5th. Nothing. They didn't learn a single thing.

They're going to do the same thing next time around, and they're not going to take no for an answer. I hope you're right. I really do hope I'm right. I don't know that I agree. I mean, seeing people like Bill Maher, Jon Stewart, and Cenk Uygur start to come around now and be like, OK, that's it. We've had enough. We got to call this out. He's doing it already. I mean, that's there's a degree of people who are. So I'll put it this way. Based on the time at which a person left the left, you can gauge their their initiation.

How long have they been active in politics and their moral courage? So some people I'll give a pass to. And by all means, a lot of people have called out Joe Rogan for waiting at the last minute. There's a viral video that Kyle Kalinske shared where Joe's saying a bunch of progressive things. He's for universal basic income. I think Joe was way on the left, and people don't understand how much he's moved over. He was a Bernie bro. Right. And so even a couple of years ago, he was very, very Bernie bro. And so when they see him this year before he endorses Trump saying things like, well, you know, I like RFK better.

He had already moved dramatically over. But I also think he's trying to be moderate so he can attract a larger a larger group. In the end, he made that endorsement. But as for people like Bill Maher and Jon Stewart, who waited till only after the election, you can see what they're truly scared of. They did not have confidence in what was going to happen. They weren't reading the news or paying attention. So Bill Maher, for instance, well, he did call it wokeness, and I'll give him credit

for that. Jon Stewart and they both tried to play a middle of the road approach. Cenk Uygur, at the very least, had seen the writing on the wall. Then you have a handful of other liberals who go way back, Dave Rubin being like literally one of the first to have left the left. People who are like, hey, I'm paying attention to this stuff and these people are crazy. I'm out of here.

You can see how long it took some of these people. Compare Dave Rubin. And I'm going to talk to Cenk about this. Dave Rubin's on the Young Turks Network. He leaves, starts his own thing. Then he makes his way from like, you know, moderate liberalism to libertarianism and now to some type of like moderates right leaning. I don't know that he's conservative or anything like that, but now the Young Turks who had attacked him relentlessly for 10 years, all of a sudden now are closer to him politically than anything else. Yeah. And, you know, I think that you talk about Joe Rogan and where Joe Rogan was. I think Joe Rogan genuinely had an interest in bringing Kamala Harris on there to have that three hour conversation with her, because I think that would have been one of the that

would have been a make or I genuinely believe this if she would have been able to get in front of that audience and actually deliver something to the people that she maybe would have been able to bump herself front of that audience and actually deliver something uh to the people that she maybe would have been able to bump herself up a couple oh my god do i think she would have won no i i i'm sorry i continue continue finish your point i'm sorry well i don't think that i don't think she would have been able to do it but the what what i think was going through rogan's head was that would have been appealing to her people her people would have told her if they truly believed that she could connect with the american people they would have been appealing to her people. Her people would have told her, if they truly believed that she could connect with the American people,

they would have put her on Joe Rogan. Why not? I got to read. I saw this super chat, and I fact-checked it. Lord help us. Do you know what a post is called on Blue Sky? A bleat? Yeah, it's bad.

Is it a bleat? No. A skeet? Yeah. It's a skeet. Skeet. I can't believe. I can't believe it. I can't believe it.

Who came up with that? Considering the amount of child abuse on that platform, I'm not surprised. I saw that and I was like, that's a joke. And I looked it up. Oh, my God. These people are nuts. They are nuts. I tried to go on there to see how quickly I could get banned and somebody had already taken my username. So I didn it up. Oh, my God. These people are nuts. They are nuts. Well, I tried to go on there to see how quickly I could get banned, and somebody had already taken my username, so I didn't bother.

That's what the left has been doing. They've been basically making sure Blue Sky fails. But it's true. They're going in and they're taking as many names as possible to stop anyone from being able to get on the platform. Legit. So while you've got these personalities being like, let's go to Blue Sky, activists are going on there and taking up as many names as they can to restrict the ideas of

people who aren't communists, I guess. They don't want Cenk Uygur on that platform. Is he not using it? I don't know if he is. I'm saying they don't want him there. What about Mark Cuban? Didn't he go there for 25 minutes? How did that work out? He bent the knee and kissed the pinky ring. What do you think happened with Mark Cuban? So these people are moral cowards.

You don't think he's compromised? I don't know. I mean, you've got Diddy List, you've got Epstein List, but I think mostly just moral cowards. You've got, like, what happened to Jon Stewart? Jon Stewart's out of the game for a long time. He comes back during COVID, goes on Colbert, and says, isn't it weird to anybody that the

Wuhan coronavirus laboratory had a coronavirus emerge a block away? And no one's asking that question. Colbert's like, no, it's completely normal. What are you talking about? And John, see what happens is John Stewart thought he could come back after all these years without paying attention to what was going on politically. And he didn't realize the left had become a cult. So where it used to be that you could insult and you could be edgy and George Carlin was without paying attention to what was going on politically. And he didn't realize the left had become a cult.

So where it used to be that you could insult and you could be edgy and George Carlin was making racial jokes and using slurs, Jon Stewart leaves the game before the wokeness goes mainstream, jumps back into the fray, and immediately falls in line. On his Apple show talking about white privilege and all the garbage, he learned quick he better drop to his knees and kiss the pinky ring. Mark Cuban, very much the same. Mark Cuban's probably thinking, look, I stand to lose $437 million in contracts. If I speak my mind, I better just say what they want me to say. Who cares? This is the way things are going. I see I Kalinske, right? I'll give him credit partly for his courage to defy the trends, but also in his fear of bucking what he committed to for so long. Kyle Kalinske used to

be a normal guy. And I actually gave him respect. Back in the day during the Gamergate and the culture war stuff, he actually spoke nicely of Carl Benjamin, Sargon of Akkad. People were calling Carl fascist and white supremacist like no no no come on come on like you can criticize him for a lot of things but he's not those things and i was like i like this kyle kalinsky guy i like his content he's calm he's rational i don't agree with everything he's saying now he's just lost his mind he's a i thought he was friends with joe rogan now he's attacking joe rogan it's because these people saw uh you know you know what it is?

They're smart people. They're watching the wave of the cult take over. And they think to themselves, I can stand up and fight back, or I can just lower my head and move with the crowd. I'm going to do that one because they genuinely thought that was the right side of history. Not that it was correct, but that wokeness was going to win and they didn't want to be booted out. So it kind of reinforces the fact that Mark Cuban is the stupidest billionaire on the face of the earth. He's not stupid. He's a coward. There's a difference. When he saw Wokeness, he said, I am going to march in lockstep with these people so I don't lose access to money.

But he was wrong. What ended up happening is, despite all of the media attempts, despite all of the censorship, Donald Trump's right-wing populist message, and not just his message with the people around him succeeded, won the popular vote, won the election. And it was a matter of days when these moral cowards dropped to their knees and said, I have always criticized the Democrats, please, because this is the thing Democrats fear the most is being on the wrong side of history. That's why right now they're saying Trump didn't win the popular vote. He's at forty nine point nine percent.

They're saying, nope, nope. Popular vote is 50 plus, which is just to say they're afraid of not being in the majority. Exactly. That's why Kyle Kalinske is having a mental breakdown right now on X and has been because he he he spent so much energy into this idea of progressivism and liberalism that he thought was the mainstream that he thought was the majority. And then after the election, it turned out he's in the minority. He's having a mental breakdown.

Many of them are. Mark Cuban is. Yeah, Mark Cuban I think definitely is. But did it not look to you like Mark Cuban was being almost held? I mean, not literally, but it looked like he was being held hostage in some of these things, some of these interviews, forcing him to go on TV and say these things, which nobody, there's no way he believed some of the things that he was saying on TV using these talking points. I mean, could it have been, was he in a pissing contest with Elon Musk at that point? Trying to be, you got to think about it.

Mark Cuban, I grew up watching Mark Cuban on Shark Tank. He was one of my idols growing up. And look at where he's at now. Is he desperately trying to crawl his way back up the ladder? I don't mean to sound disrespectful, but is it kind of embarrassing to say that? Yeah. I looked up to Mark Cuban. I was wrong.

Yeah. I feel like I was like, did I get duped or did he go off the deep end? I don't know which one it was. Well, Nick, remember, he owns the Dallas Mavericks. And the NBA. You know who he sold it to? The NBA is all pro-China. They don't let people say a lot of things.

So, like, this is not completely out of character for Mark Cuban. It makes sense to me. So he's taking the LeBron James route of politics. Exactly. That would make total sense. But what's funny is, and I'll say this one last thing and I'll let you move on, but he sold the Dallas Mavericks to Miriam Adelson, I believe, which was one of Trump's top donors. And then immediately after said that Trump has no strong, intelligent women around him, even though he just sold his team to one of his top people. Let's jump to the story from The New York Times.

Big news. Walmart, once eager to promote diversity, pulls back amid conservative pressure. Cry more New York Times. Right now, there's a bunch of flannel-wearing glasses guys with goatees in Times Square, just outside of it, going to the Times building, and they're all crying at their desks, all shaking each other fervently, saying, we are the majority. We're still normal. It's conservatives that are doing all this when the largest retailer says, we don't want to do any of this weird stuff. We're getting away from it. The New York Times has to frame it as though, okay, I'm sorry. It wasn't guys. It's a bunch of women being like, we aren't wrong. We aren't wrong. So that's it. That's good. Keep it that way. So here's the funny thing. They're saying

it made conservative pressure. You know what the funny thing is? Walmart is claiming they plan to pull back on DEI well before Robbie Starbuck reached out to them. The New York Times is coping. They're seething crime. Yeah. I mean, the fact anytime so anytime the left loses any kind of social institution or anytime they get any kind of pushback, they absolutely lose their mind. Look at the way that people freaked out about, you know, when when there was the boycott against on Target for the LGBT child children stuff, right? They were losing their mind because they really believed that they had achieved total hegemony over the whole culture, that there was not going to be any kind of pushback.

It's the same reason why when Donald Trump was elected, they lost their mind because they believed that they had reached a point in time where there was going to be politics of one nature forever it was going to be democrats were going to win hillary clinton was of course going to win and the differences were going to be very marginal you know if there were going to be any differences between the candidate it was going to be someone that it would be whoever would win it would be someone that approved of their their essentially their program. And that was the way it's going to be because they believed that there was kind of an end to history that we'd achieved. And obviously that's not the case. But they always lose their mind when they when anything is rolled back.

And it's partially because a lot of people on the left have have replaced traditional religions with a leftist religion. Yeah, and so let me be clear on how big this is. First off, for Robbie Starbuck, because New York Times reluctantly mentioned Robbie Starbuck. They don't want to give Robbie Starbuck any credit. So that tells you how damn good of a job Robbie did. So shout out to Robbie on that. But Walmart is not just the largest retailer. They are the largest private employer in the United States with over 2 million employees. This was the big dog to go get. And we did it. This is a shifting point that we're at right now.

And I guarantee that Walmart is not going to start firing all their women and people of color. I guarantee that is not going to happen. The DEI employees and stuff, they will quietly be ushered out or whatever. Oh, they're going to go back to performance-based metrics or merit-based, huh? Exactly. And it's not going to be some kind of, they're not going to bring in all the good old boys that are just going to get rid of all the women and get rid of all the people of color and stuff. That's not what it's about. That's not what it's

ever been about before DEI came about. Completely agree, but that is the narrative that the left wants to sell. If you get rid of these programs, then all you're going to have, it's going to be just straight white men that are going to get jobs, blah, blah, blah. And it's obviously insane,

but that's what they would want you to believe. It's why the Jaguar rebrand is so weird. It's literally like they just got stuck in a time capsule in 2018 and came out and just rebranded and everyone's like, is this what everyone's doing now? And they're like, no, you're like four years too late. I thought it was a Gen Z vape company when I first saw the new logo. No, no, I didn't think it was the car company.

Yeah, no. When I saw it, I was like, sometimes. What does it have to do with cars? Well, it's not that, but sometimes, like, other companies use different brands. Like, how many Paddy's pubs are there? You know what I mean? They're not owned by the same guy. I literally thought Grace Jones was making a comeback.

And when you see that, what is it, the CEO or, like, a high-level executive refused to walk it back and is talking about how they're going forward with their new vision. It's like, that's not the point of your company, right? You're basically operating brand name on your name. What are you selling? You're like, and we're going to electric vehicles only. And everyone's like, are you so disconnected from your consumer base?

You've already degraded your consumer base. It's not like people look at Jaguar as... No, no, finish, finish. People aren't looking at the company that way. And in 2018, yes, a brand, a lot of people said, get woke, go broke. No, it was go broke, try to get woke to rebrand, which is what's going on

here. I think I know what happened. They've been working on that campaign for some time. It didn't just start production. No, of course not. They were betting on Harris winning and the EV mandates and subsidies. So they said, Kamala's going to win. Everyone's saying Trump can't win. We're going to do this commercial.

They probably shifted to EV production when they were looking at the EV mandates a long time ago, thinking with a new Democratic administration coming in, we're going to get a bunch of money towards EVs. Because they're going to stonewall Musk. So the largest electric auto manufacturer is not going to get the subsidies. We can come in and get it. We're the largest electric they could be. So that's why they made the weird post-modernist art commercial to pander to the left

and make an electric car and get these subsidies and then Trump won. But also, most of these companies, look, when these companies donate, they don't donate to one candidate. Most of the time, they spread their money around to multiple candidates. If you're Jaguar and you've got a company that has the money theoretically you should start running ads and running scenarios for both outcomes right so you have your creepy post-modern mandates with your creepy post-modern ad in case the uh ev mandates go through sure fine

but then you should also be making a separate campaign that runs parallel with it. That should have a completely different message in case Trump wins. But would that be price tag? I mean, I mean better that than being stuck with something that isn't going to work at all. But that might also speak more to the fact that they really do think that they're the majority and they can't imagine a scenario where they weren't going to win. To be fair, just because they,

just because, you know, there's this result in the United States, the United States is kind of the leader in, in this kind of culture war that's going on. Like there are other things that happen, but you know, I think the U S did elect Donald Trump before Brexit happened, right?

Yes. I think so. Wait, wait, no, it was the other way around. Brexit, then Brexit happened.

Okay. So, but the point being, I imagine that jaguar made this for an international audience they put it on the internet and it's not obvious to me that it's only going that it would that it's going to be rejected in other places canada is is steeped in this stuff and of course there's pushback i don't know that are out there there are people that are pushing back of course i'm not arguing i think back. I think Trump may invade Canada.

In France, in Germany, in a lot of countries in Europe, this is still kind of, they're lagging behind the U.S. culturally. And it's still kind of the norm to have this kind of attitude. I got an idea. So we compromise with the military industrial complex we say guys we're not going to give you your wars in the middle east or eastern europe but we will give you war in canada you want to do these government contracts we agree but we have to occupy canada and liberate them from tyranny yeah so i don't know how you're going to get any woke non-binary trans folks to to buy jaguars when they're about to any of them that are in the military about to be unemployed uh you know what you know there's

really good points being made though that when when the media claims 15 000 people in the military are trans that's not true because that that seems like a very very large number relative to the amount of people in the military i mean i don't know i know they're is that across all branches all this is just what the media reported, up to 15,000 individuals. And there's something like this. I feel like they're going to try to make that number sound as large as humanly possible. Right, exactly. Something like a million people in the U.S. military, I believe.

So when I said Walmart was the largest private employer, the reason I said that they are not the largest employer is because the Defense Department employs more. So that's the only one. So if you talk about millions of people in the Defense Department that work for the Defense Department, that 15,000 probably covers that entire Defense Department of millions of individuals. I do think we've seen some bubblings up in Canada

that people are getting fed up with what's going on with Trudeau and stuff. So I don't follow Canada enough to know for sure. He was forced to back down to Trump today. Yeah. Well, that's the Trump tariffs. The Trump effect, yeah. Plus, he was out singing a taylor swift concert when people were rioting in the streets that doesn't look good he's bad i don't know more people watch taylor swift than riots

you know what i mean unless unless the riots are like outside your house i think you're probably right a lot of this is also a lot of these companies that are run by competent c ceos that know what they're doing are trying to push back. And you could say that it's leaning right, but I would say it's probably in the, in the wake of things. They're just trying to go back to a form of neoliberalism, which is to say that they're going to begrudgingly support the candidate. For instance, David Zaslav, who's in charge over there at Warner brothers talked about how the election of president Trump would be great for A&M for acquisitions and mergers, right?

Because they want to continue their ability to buy up companies. They don't want to be broken up. Everyone's talking about Google and what could be going on over there. Certainly that same thing happens with Disney very, very regularly where they talk about the company and the possibility that it owns too much in one area. And if they want a pro-business candidate, they have now got the mandate to be able to do that because there seems to be less pushback against Donald Trump

than there was in 2016. So saying as a business that you like Donald Trump now as a business owner doesn't carry the same weight that it did from 2016 through 2020. It's not nearly as toxic. And that's good. As much as we can complain about neoliberalism, the idea that they would be able to come out

and now we can say America first and we can see it that way and we can hope that we can get the best America first candidates out of that, what they're hoping for are pro-business candidates who may or may not have America first beliefs. Right? I mean, we saw this coming with all the VCs

and such from San Francisco, Silicon Valley finally coming out and, you know, sounding the alarm on this. I mean, you have the these venture capitalists that have always been, you know, morally woke. You know, they're going to change the world and fix that. You know, they're not talking about the climate crisis anymore. They're not talking about, you know, racism. They're talking about, okay, how do we fix it? We've dug such a massive hole, and they're waking

up, you know, these San Francisco guys. There were tweets that were going around today talking about how there was one guy that traveled to, and Elon was actually interacting with him. He went to Europe, talking to people in Europe about San Francisco, and even the guys in Europe see, like, okay, San Francisco is the opposite of what you want to do for politics nowadays. So I think

people are finally seeing that. I don't know if there's some sort of cycle, if these cities are cyclical. Is New York improving? Is Eric Adams going to turn it around now that Trump's been elected? You know, maybe he'll get a pardon. I don't know. I mean, getting a business class upgrade on a Turkish Airlines flight doesn't exactly sound like the bane of corruption to me. A lot of them are still virtue signaling about deportations and sanctuary cities, which New York is talking about closing down their migrant camps now because Trump has been elected. And Kathy Hochul was talking to Trump. I mean, the Democrats are blocking their own party out. The high ranking ones know what they need to do. So let's—

No, and isn't that kind of the point that the Uniparty will attempt to reassert itself as they— if the idea here is that they're going to push themselves back to the middle, right, and you're going to get them talking about closing the migrant camps and all this stuff, they want to reassert Uniparty control by pretending to acquiesce to these things right now until Trump's out of office. That's why we don't get complacent. Yeah. Let's jump to this story. We got this tweet from Libs of TikTok.

Breaking news. Frederick, Maryland, Mayor Michael O'Connor announces he's creating a fund using tax dollars to help illegal immigrants pay legal fees to fight deportations once Trump takes office. Let's play it. In many regards, this election cycle did not go as I had hoped. In response to Trump's national immigration policies, Frederick Mayer, Michael O'Connor, pledging to carve out space in his local budget for a legal advocacy fund, which would use tax dollars to pay undocumented immigrants' attorney's fees as they fight deportation. Ensuring they have the legal support they need to stand strong and remain in this community

they have chosen to call home. O'Connor explaining his intention is to allocate the money to organizations already providing similar legal services, helping them expand the number of people they're able to support. Although he's still determining the exact dollar amount to set aside. Some residents we spoke with supportive of the end goal. I believe a lot of non-immigrant people also contribute to the country as well. But all of them against their tax dollars footing the bill. I'm torn.

I don't like the idea. I'd rather our taxpayer money go towards American citizens. You know, you break the law, it's just what happens. Nobody helped me pay for my attorney fees when I break the law. So why should we be paying for theirs out of taxpayer money? But this comes at a cost, and this could be a very large cost for Frederick. And quite frankly, Frederick can't afford it. So, you know, Frederick is one of the major metros around where we are.

We go there all the time. Frederick, Maryland, huh? Frederick, Maryland, that's right. And they fly a progress pride flag they do over city hall right i think so i think frederick has gotten crazy since like because i grew up in maryland and i i would always go there it's not the same frederick so i don't i i like i haven't been in new york we went to new york uh a couple years ago and we did like the Times Square thing. I got to tell you, Frederick is fried like it is a bad place. And I feel bad because there's good businesses and we go there and there's some good restaurants. But this place is you know what? I take that back.

I hold all of the people of Frederick to a degree responsible for sitting back and letting this governance take over in this city because it is it is it is gone overboard to the point where after this election, the mayor is saying, we're going to take tax dollars to pay for non-citizens legal defense so they can stay here and consume more from the tax base is insane. What would make this guy double down? I mean, you look at everybody, look at all the pushback. I mean, there was a mandate given this election here. Why is this guy double? I understand that Maryland is, what, 60, 65% Democrat? It's very heavily... Well, Western Maryland wants to be, wants to secede and join West Virginia.

Okay, I'm for that. It's because of the D.C. area. It's definitely for the D.C. area. But, you know, looking at this, I don't know if you saw Tom Homan talking on, was it Fox earlier today? Oh, that was great. Yeah.

He's like, the Denver mayor says that he's willing to go to jail. Well, we agree. I'll put him there. He said, try it. Go for it. That's exactly what the federal government should do. They should withhold federal funding. They do it so that way they get to age of

alcohol sales. And for speed limits on the roads. And other stuff like that. So it's completely normal. It's not outside of it's not like this is unprecedented. It's tied into highway funding and stuff, right? Yeah. So it wouldn't be unprecedented to say, look, you're not complying with federal law, so we're going to withhold federal funds.

And if there are any people, whether they be in government or whether they be just protesters that are going to interfere with ICE or whatever, carrying out their job, arrest them too. Put them in jail. This is one of the things that they struggle with. Look, Trump really doesn't like... In 2020, when the riots were going on, he offered a lot of support to a lot of these cities

and they said no. And he refused to just send in the National Guard because he doesn't want to be called the fascist that they're going to call him anyway. It doesn't matter. So at a certain point, a lot of people have discussions about not actually acting in the best interest of your voters because you keep trying to win this phantom vote from people that are never going to support you. They're going to call you a fascist no matter what. They're going to call you a Nazi no matter what. At a certain point, you're going

to have to act in a way that's going to get you called that you're going to be called that anyways. This might be one of those situations where they have to consider it. And I think Trump learned this time around. I truly do. With what I've seen, everything that I've heard from him, the people that I've talked to, the people surrounding him and just off the record conversations, I truly believe he learned from 2020 what happened in 2020, because, you know, he wants to see the good in people. I genuinely believe that.

He wants to look at these mayors and these governors and think that they are doing right by their people. But they are not. They are not. They are doing right for themselves. And that's it. These are sleazebags. He doesn't give a crap about anybody in his community. He wants people to like him, I think, is the thing about Donald Trump.

He's always been liked. He's always been the most popular guy. No one's really ever, you know, the people that dislike him were always like in a business sense. And it was always like, you know, because he was a hard-nosed businessman. And look, I've said this before, but, you know, I really, really wish and I hope that Donald Trump can be the Donald Trump that the left is afraid of. I want to see Donald Trump be the Donald Trump that the left has been saying, oh, he's this, he's that. Because if he's one-tenth of what they say,

he will actually get some really good policies done. And he'll ignore the people that are going to call him, all the names that they're going to call him, because they're going to call him the names regardless. It doesn't matter what he does. He could be as soft as a bunny when it comes to policy, but because he speaks in a way that they dislike and because he's not one of the preferred candidates, he's going to be treated and called all the worst names. We've seen that clearly

for the entire, what, eight years that Donald Trump has been involved in politics, maybe longer, but still, there's no reason to hold back and say, well, you know, I have to worry about being reelected or I have to worry about this or worry about that. No, go in and get the job done that you were elected to get done. The American people want it. 70% of Americans say that they're OK with deportation. So start with the worst criminals and work your way through. Yeah, absolutely. And I mean, it's not going to be the most I mean, this is going to be be a little bit of a controversial opinion, but you know, I know Rand Paul said something the

other day about not using the military for mass deportations. I love Rand Paul. I've known him for years. I mean, I'm from Kentucky originally, and I worked in politics, in state politics. So he's a great guy, well-intentioned. I disagree with him on that. I think we have to. I don't think we have a choice because, you know because we're cutting straight through the bureaucracy. The commander-in-chief going straight to the military and removing the invaders. That's the way I look at it. That's what I think we should be doing and it should be done pretty

quickly. If the military are necessary to take on the gangs, I might be able to be convinced. But to be honest with you... Trendy Aragua needs to be I'd rather them be here than in fucking, I'm sorry, Karachi. Yeah, but there are entry

teams that the FBI have that are extremely skilled, that train regularly. You don't have to have the military. And you have to get control on the FBI. Yeah, well, that's fine. But if you look at the teams that are actually the door kickers, you can't tell the difference between the FBI and the military, except for the fact the FBI has FBI on their stuff.

They're all as militarized as any infantry unit in the military. You don't need to have them. And to be honest with you, if you're dealing with actual entry teams, the FBI entry teams practice CQB far more than your standard average infantry guy in the military. So there is the personnel and they have the tactics. They have the ability to do it. You don't need to actually use the military. You have all of the assets you need. I mean, ICE has militarized security forces. The FBI has militarized security forces and there is any number of or umpteen different um government agencies that have militarized uh security forces or or you know police forces the dea there's all and local police all kinds of assets state police if you're if your mayor of the town won't do it state police have swat you've got he has

plenty of options he doesn't actually have to use the military it and it was see how much bureaucracy that you were just going through with that with that example i'm saying we got you know level by level by level by level by level there's a lot more punishment for somebody in the military that refuses an order by a we're going to get general or commander congress people involved you're going to get you're going to get governor saying involved. You're going to get governors saying, no, you can't use our National Guard here because I'm in charge of the National Guard. You're going to get all kinds of pushback

from the military side as well. Not that you're wrong. Trump need only invoke the Insurrection Act to override governors and take control. Federalize the Guard. Right. And all that has to happen is Trump says,

you are hereby instructed that these people breaking the law will be deported. If they say we will not enforce the law, he goes, insurrection act. Absolutely. And I mean, good luck. I mean, if you're a general in the U.S. Army and you are refusing that lawful order, look what's going to happen to you. I mean, it's very different if you're a bureaucrat that's refusing an order. Very, very different.

That's what I'm saying. We take that all out of the way. We got to do this soon. We're running out of time here. I've said it multiple times on the show that you've got about 18 months before it... I don't know that I agree with that after the latest report of the DNC firing two-thirds of its

staff. I'm kind of thinking like, they need to be prepping for the midterms right now. And if they just laid off two-thirds of their staff, and I don't know if I'm wrong, that sounds abnormal. Is this something they normally do? How do you recover from that, too? two-thirds of their staff, and I don't know, correct me if I'm wrong, that sounds abnormal. Is this something they normally do? How do you recover from that, too?

Two-thirds of your, that's a hell of a lot of people. We're talking 10,000-plus people? You know, for the DNC, across all of their different subsidiaries? I have no, I couldn't. That's a lot of, two-thirds of their people. That sounds outrageous to me but uh you know i don't know you'd seem like you would go full steam ahead but are donors pulling out that's

one of the things like are the are the cash cows are the big money people are they stopping you see you know is mark zuckerberg still funneling money into the dnc or does he see that as you know mark zuckerberg's not stupid right i disagree with him on most things but you know he's pouring so many billions of dollars into this stuff and has he stopped because he sees the writing on the wall? He said he has, but has he actually? It seems like if the DNC doesn't have any money to pay their staffers, which are the first people. Tim, you run a business. Real quick, I did check. It is reportedly common for post-election layoffs. However, the recent layoffs have been notably extensive, reporting approximately two thirds of the DNC staff were laid off with little notice and no severance. The scale of layoffs has

drawn significant criticism from the DNC staff union, which we did look at. So what I'm saying there is this definitely seemed to be exorbitant. They do post-election layoffs because we all talk about this in the media, in the news, after elections, viewership declines, people are less interested, they're fatigued. But you need to start your preparations for the midterms right now. Yeah. They need to know who they're going to be running because they need to line up not only the candidates, they need to make sure that they're ready to go. They need to find donations. They need to figure out which PACs are going to be behind which candidates. They need to start mapping out all the districts they need to go after. They got to start mapping out where Republicans won by thin margins and they can try and recover those districts. But they just laid off two-thirds of

their staff. How do you do it? That's why I'm like, at first we were like, Trump's got 18 months because once you get the squishy Republicans into election season, they're going to cower. Now, I don't know that I agree with that at a certain point. So initially we all agreed on that. Then I said, yeah, but you know what? With a popular mandate, we're going to tell these squishy Republicans, you got two choices. You back Trump's agenda or you resign, because if you think you're going to play a middle of the road and pander to Democrats, then the Trump supporters will make sure you lose. So you either go for Trump or just resign now. And if that means a Democrat win, ain't nobody going to tolerate weak Republicans. But now that we're hearing the dnc's basically just collapsed how are they going to do any kind

of preparation for a midterm well you can think about that how do you get people to donate to you when all the headlines even from the legacy media are uh yeah the democrat party is in free fall and they're laying everybody off and you know there's no plan for the midterm how do you raise money with that sort of message what are you sending out i mean besides kamala's emails for her recount stuff. With donors already being pissed. Yeah, because they were lied to. They were defrauded. I would argue that they were defrauded.

So there's a story from The Hill. We won't dive too much in, but just Harris and Walters are supposed to address top donors. This is a new article? No, this is from the 21st. Oh my God. Yeah, it's on the 21st. So they should be, I believe, have already addressed them, dealing with the fact that they burned money and just lost miserably.

They're in the minority. What's funny is they were acting like— In many regards, this election cycle— That was garbage. They were arguing that the Republicans were on the ropes and were doomed. Donald Trump would be the death of the Republican Party. That's what many of these liberal personalities were saying. Now the Democrats have just laid off two-thirds of their staff to burn through a billion dollars,

and we don't even know what they're going to be doing in the next year or two. And now the donors know that they were lied to. The donors know that they were lied to. They were told that Kamala had a chance. Not even that. Not even that. The donors know that you can't throw good money after bed. That they're saying, I can donate to Democrats and flush it on the toilet,

or I can, I don't know, go on vacation. Yeah. Yeah. You pick. I mean, I mean, look, the Democrats have left. I imagine the Democrats have left the donors with a very bad taste in their mouth because of the fact that they had had a candidate that performed so poorly and that they were not forthcoming with honest information. So I don't know that they're going to. And also because, again, the whole country had a significant shift. Now, usually there's a pushback when the midterms, usually if there's a significant push one way,

the midterms will be a push the other way. So I wouldn't be super surprised. I don't know how many seats are up for reelection or whatever for the Senate and stuff, but that kind of stuff will matter when it'll come into the equation. But at the end of the day, the U.S. broadly really has kind of signaled that there were a lot of policies the Democrats did that they didn't like. You look at the way that the economy, the way that markets are behaving now, they expect positive results from Donald Trump. So we'll see. Take a look at this article from The Nation. Somehow Americans are liking Trump better every day. Ain't that something? The Nation, for those of you who don't know, is a leftist publication.

And they're all starting to break down. Look at this. They say the November air is thick with postmortems of the 2024 election, but there's already another mystery of public opinion that deserves at least as much scrutiny as the dismissal outcome of presidential balloting. Americans beholding the squalid bottom feeding composition of the Trump cabinet in waiting, a grim panoply of grifters, self-dealing hacks and sexual assaulters report that they like what they see. The net approval rating for the Trump transition is 18%, according to a CNN poll, compared to just 1% during the transition into the first Trump White House.

53% of respondents say they're optimistic or excited about the prospects for a second term, a photographic negative of the initial dawn of the Trump era, where the same majority said it was scared or concerned. Notice how they have to smear lie. But I love this, guys. They're basically saying they're awful, they're evil, they're grifters, and majority of Americans like them and are very excited.

The lack of self-reflection in the language there, their inability to just leave out the personal smears, is exactly why they lost and exactly why it will prove that without major restructuring, they will learn nothing from this. And, I mean, they're doing the same thing that they did before. I mean, these people, whoever wrote this article and probably is pretty representative

of the left if you read anything on Blue Sky, which I don't, I just see screenshots on Twitter. But it seems like they, all of the indictments of Trump, all of the prosecutions, you know, oh, he was convicted. Oh, that means he's a felon. And, you know, originally they were using that as a smear, obviously, calling the felon. And they

did a similar thing in this article. People don't, they just, it means nothing anymore. These words mean nothing. It's like when they used to call people racist. Okay. They were calling everybody they didn't like a racist. Everybody they don't like is, you know, the German mustache guy, which I don't think I can say on YouTube. And that doesn't work. And they tried to pull that card in the last week of the election as well, and it didn't work. Clearly, they're not learning from it.

But are the top-level Democrats doing that? If they're still having Kamala and Tim Walz do phone calls? I don't think so. That's the problem, right? So they were talking about how you said a lot of these top donors probably feel defrauded, right? Like we back somebody that we were told is a good candidate when they weren't. Well, technically they should have thought about that before because Joe Biden, whose brain's turned to mush, should have been something that was evident long before to anyone that was paying attention. But if the donor class is, is pawning off their need to pay attention to politics onto the actual DNC,

then they're just trusting them and saying, no, trust us. Even though she hasn't won any votes ever, she's a good candidate, right? So this is on them as well for not recognizing it sooner. This is probably the death of DEI right here.

This election, you know, we learned, you know, it's because all of this happened. All of this happened because Joe Biden said he was going to pick a black woman,

whatever woman is, for vice president. And now look what we got. Or now look what they got. I'm happy for it. Keep doing it. Keep doing it, guys. I don't think that DEI is as dead as some people think. It's more of a battle win than a war win.

So I just noticed something because I saw a tweet. The Krasensteins haven't posted in four days. Condolences. The last thing that Krasenstein posted was that he didn't make a lot of money on X. And all of a sudden he's not posting anymore. And liberals are losing followers like crazy. David Pakman brought it up. But I pulled up the Social Blade stats on their X profiles.

And their followers are collapsing. Like aoc's lost hundreds of thousands yeah so i think um i think they're propped up by bots so i say meaning astro turfed meaning fake well look cnn showed that chart where it's like 62 or whatever percent were democrat and i'm like yeah i wonder if that was just bots right and so so the reason why it's like 37% were Republican is because you add a bunch of bots, it's going to skew that number down percentage-wise. You get rid of the bots and everything goes back to normal. And think about the nefarious nature of this, right? So you have created a fake world through bots. You've also made it impossible to talk about the rival candidate because you'll get called a Nazi, right?

So they've actually structured a fake world for everyone to live in for the last 8 to 12 years by using technology and shaming of people for regular political views. Because again, Trump in process is basically just a 90s Democrat. And they've created a fake world that people are just now pulling themselves out of because the election was too big to ignore. Like they said, too big to rig. If this had been marginally close, we could still be living in that same false universe.

Right, and I think that even Gen Z has real, which they tend to be the most vulnerable demographic. At least that's what the Democrats thought they were. So they put out people like Harry Siss and they put out, what's it, Olivia Juliana? Whatever, the big one. You know, the one that always reminds me that fat shaming saves lives.

But, you know, I think that they thought they put so much money into these Gen Z influencers that didn't relate to Gen Z at all. Because Gen Z, it came out today, again, a YouGov survey that came out today showing that Gen Z overwhelmingly favors Trump and Trump's plans for the economy, Trump's plans for housing. Because, you know, even over the past four years, Kamala and Biden have totally shut out Gen Z from buying homes.

Like, I'm 26. I'm right there on that line. And I'm lucky that I bought a house back in 2020 because, you know, it'd be really tough to be in a situation of a normal Gen Z-er and try to buy something like that now. And they see that. They're not stupid. They're not falling for the TikTok propaganda anymore. Well, it's also impossible because the candidate and that method are in Congress. So Kamala Harris is basically the old class, right? She'll only do media interviews that are pre-planned. She's only going to go on 60 Minutes. She's only going to do things where she's going to look the best possible way in the fakest possible light that you can put her. But then your influencers are the ones who are on the same platforms where you're looking for,

you know, Trump is going to do Joe Rogan. Trump is going to do Theo Vaughn. He speaks more to a generation that wants unfiltered content delivered to them that gives them a better gauge of what they're watching than expecting them to go watch a bunch of Harry Sisson videos and then go say, okay, I'm going to go look at Harry Sisson. Oh, 60 minutes. I haven't watched that in a while. I'm 22. No, that's not a thing. But you don't even have to watch these podcasts the other part of it is the media even the legacy media would take out sections of these podcasts so you know trump on there he says something which the media sees as egregious yet gen xers even and millennials see it's just like oh he's just an like a dude that i you know it was pretty base that was a pretty base thing to say

and they're getting exposed that way the normal conversations he's having are being exposed through the legacy media when they're just trying to do a hit piece on him, and it's backfiring. That's what's so insane to me about the Jaguar ad. You just said Gen Z got screwed, can't buy houses, can't afford groceries. They're going to buy Jags now? They're going to buy Jaguars? You've got all these Jags on the list. Right.

How are they going to afford it? This is a luxury car break. Live in your Jag. To be fair, the people that Jaguar is targeting with that ad are the people that are most likely to still be moved by or influenced by that kind of ad. That's a good point. People need to realize. They think that Jaguar ad was for us. No, it's not.

The regular person. No, no, no. It's for the uppity liberal Gen Z guy who makes a million dollars working for the DNC or whatever us? No, it's not. The regular person? No, no, no. It's for the uppity, liberal, Gen Z guy who makes a million dollars working for the DNC or whatever garbage. No, the Volvo ad was for the rest of us. The Volvo ad was for the rest of us. It's so funny how a little bit of perspective gives it a long

way. If I'd seen the Volvo ad a month before, I'd have been like, oh, that was really, really nice. But you watch it after you watch the Jaguar, like, oh my god. I don't know what it is but that was amazing yes i don't like i can't even watch 30 second ads colluded with jaguar and said you do a really bad one that way when ours comes out like three days later everybody's into it i love it but i mean but i mean you look it's it's like and obviously one of the things

that jaguar is pushing as well as the whole climate thing oh we're gonna move to evs for that but you know they keep outing themselves again and again and again. Like Gavin Newsom came out today and said we're not giving any money through our EV subsidies or EV credits to Tesla. So if you buy a Tesla, you can't have any other electric car. You can have EV credits when you purchase one, but not Tesla. So apparently Tesla, which is by far one of the greenest companies in the world, is still not green enough for California. What is this all about? That's the thing.

Clearly, it's not about how green it is. It's all about power. Yep. Elon Musk has the best EV company. They're cool. Everybody wants them. And they shut him out from all of these deals, from all these meetings.

And it's because Elon Musk is not in line with their cult ideology. And many of these companies couldn't operate without Elon Musk either because years ago, and I was young. I thought this was like a really dumb move. But I was like, okay, maybe he's on to something here when he open sourced all of his patents and didn't charge anybody for anything. And then he sets up supercharging stations all around the country. These EV companies, GM, Ford, whatever, they're now begging him to use this supercharger network they they are yes so i wouldn't have a company without it they would not have an ev brent i went to a lucid dealership i think lucid is what they're called or whatever i don't know and i and i was

talking about their cars and they were like look at the car and i said what is that and i pointed the electric charger and they're like that's what we use and i said those suck and they're like we know the next model that's coming out next year we'll use the north american standard which is the tesla supercharger yeah and i was like so then why would anyone want to buy this car and he was like i don't know i hope he had that defeated tone he's always asking questions but he did maybe maybe not as defeated but he was like yeah elon i was like so i really shouldn't but i should wait right and elon really might be the best example of just how in like how their views don't match up right like on paper he's everything that they should love other than

you know the before yeah exactly other than the tweeting but it makes no sense and most of them now there's even like elon derangement syndrome where celebrities like sell their Teslas because they might be judged for driving a Tesla. Not kidding around. Like I have friends that have Teslas and they're like, I bought it before. They have the bumper sticker on the back. They have the bumper sticker on the back. I bought it before. Which is completely ridiculous because the whole point of it, first of all, they really

are some of the best cars on the, like at least the most feature packed and the most comfortable cars out on the market. And the fastest. I was looking at a bunch of EVs before I got a Tesla. Nothing compares. No question. There are some lower-cost, cool, like, SUV types, and I was like, we could use

this. Because an electric vehicle is great for going to groceries. We never got to get gas. We drive it back. We don't go that far from a restaurant. EV is great. If we want to go on a longer trip a couple hours,

maybe we'll take the Honda or whatever. But I kept looking at the specs of every single vehicle and it's nothing compared to Tesla. Nothing. And I mean,

and these are the same companies that are getting all these subsidies, billions and billions of dollars. I mean, you saw Lucid, I think today what they get. Rivian. Rivian, that's it. $6.6 billion from the Biden regime

because they are just doling out cash like candy right now. How many chargers did Buttigieg build? Seven. I guess too high. It was $8 billion. We were joking about this, like, did he secretly build

underground subterranean sub-bus for the lizard people or something. But the worst part of all of it is, it's not to derail, but knowing that these types of vehicles are somehow politicized, that Elon Musk has made your car a political statement, it's the most depressing part of all of it. I re-watched the pilot for Suits the other day, which is a great show if you haven't seen it. And there's a scene in the pilot episode where he talks about going to a place and renting a Tesla for the night.

I'm like, could they even do that now? Like if, like if we were in the same spot now where the way that Elon Musk is seen, would they even put that in there? It's like I talk about like there's TV shows that constantly berate cryptocurrency or Bitcoin because it's just, you know hollywood

nimby liberals who want to strike out at anything that makes regular people happy and when normal stuff becomes highly politicized it's really good at demoralizing the public this all i'm sorry go ahead no good well this all started if you remember in, in California when he had a Tesla factory, I believe in Hawthorne, California. Yeah. And the that assembly member from the government of California came out and tweeted, you know, with no censors or anything. F Elon Musk. And he's like, OK, message received. Yep. And he moved out of the state and now they've been at war since then. And he's winning, clearly. But yeah, I mean, i made a remark earlier today about or on the show earlier about how the left has replaced traditional religion with a leftist religion and that's part of why

everything is political if you're a devout christian everything you see you see everything through a christian lens that you know how does this relate to God? If you're a devout Muslim, it's like, is it haram or is it, you know, halal? And that's part of your identity. The way that the left behaves is everything is political and it doesn't leave anything out. We were doing some we know, some political aspect. And if you don't have the ability to say, you know what, or I'm sorry, the left doesn't have the ability to say, you know what, this I'm not going to politicize. The right can actually do that, can say, I don't want to. And that's one of the wonderful things about the United States is we get we we have the opportunity to say, I don't want to be involved with that. Right. If you're free, you can say this is something that I don't it doesn't really bother me.

It's not a major concern. I don't want to worry about it. But the left doesn't allow for that. Let's speaking of getting spiritual, it is the last segment before we take off for Thanksgiving. So we're going to do a silly one. This was a video. I think, Callan, you share with me, right? Yeah, that's right. It's a guy claiming that he did a bunch of drugs and then saw a computer code in a laser beam.

Too bad Ian's dying. Where is Ian when you need him? When I first saw the phenomenon, I was like, holy shit. Dude, I love this. Watch. You guys got gotta watch this. It's actually like, whoa. What is happening?

Am I losing my mind? But then I showed other people, and things kept getting weirder. Just for the record, I haven't told him anything. Okay, just tell me what you see. Oh, my God, come on. Oh, what the fuck? Holy shit.

I just saw something. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. What the fuck? Oh, I've seen that. I feel it. So real quick, for those who are just listening, they're on DMT, right? I think so, yeah.

And they're looking at a laser beam on the wall, and they're going, I see it, I see it. Are they actively on DMT? I think that's what it is, right? That's what it is? I don't know how much. So let me play more. But yes, they were on DMT looking through a laser,

and they claimed to see computer code. Listen. But I've never seen anything like that. Whoa. through a laser and they claim to see computer code listen but i've never seen anything like that i showed over 100 people and i kept asking myself how are all of us seeing the same thing oh my god it changed in shapes right there the laser was revealing numbers and letters running in a pattern it's like this big here and it looks like code. It looked like... That was a thick laser.

That's why I told you. I just want to take a picture of it and translate it. So what I love about this and why I think it's funny is like it's getting a good amount of shares. Everyone's really excited. They're all like, oh, what could this mean? It means that a bunch of people did drugs and stared at the wall and got surprised by what they saw.

Like, this is not surprising to me in the least bit. Let me stress that again. Guy does psychoactive stimulant and then goes, oh, wow, at the wall. Stared long enough, you'll go blind. But I mean, I feel like you can see pretty much whatever you want to if you take enough DMT. I was picturing a dude like taking a laser pointer

and just pointing it in their eyes. What do you see? Nothing anymore. I used picturing a dude taking a laser pointer and just pointing it in their eyes. What do you see? Nothing anymore. I used to, but now I don't. So it's funny because people always, you know, and look, when was the last time Joe Rogan talked about DMT? I don't know. It's been a while, right? Right. And so

he, for a while, had this DMT arc where he was fascinated by it, and everybody was chasing after this idea of like, does DMT reveal greater truths or whatever, or something like this. And my attitude always has been like, I think DMT reveals that when you do drugs, you see weird things.

I can't, I can't say much else about it, but I know a lot of people, prominent conservatives who genuinely believe that DMT like allows you to peer beyond the veil. And I'm not going to call any of these people out. It's up to them to come out and say these things. But we all know Alex Jones has talked about it. We know that Rogan's talked about it. But I've heard a lot of people, Christians, who believe that DMT will allow you to speak with demons or the devil himself.

Well, the UK, they did an MRI study with patients on, I think, LSD, which I don't know how similar that is to DMT. But basically what they found is your brain resorts to childhood and children walk around a park and they're like, ooh, ah, a lot like these people are doing in the video. So, like, I think that's all that's happening here is your mind is being put in a childlike state and, you know, you see wonder, you're in awe. I mean, can you be – when you're on a psychedelic drug – I've never done one, I'm just going to be honest with you. But if somebody tells you, okay, they put you on a psychedelic drug and they tell you that you're supposed to be seeing something, are you typically going to be convinced to see something? Their mindset going into it also probably plays a role in it.

There is a very, very big difference between the type of person who seeks out some form of higher truth through psychedelics. For me, I always found that strange because it was never my path. So if you don't know, I'm many years sober from the hard drugs, but I saw a lot of things in my day, none of it on purpose or by choice. So I always saw these things as the type of thing that I didn't want to be there. I ended up there as a matter of problem rather than a matter of searching. So a lot of it is that if their mind is open to it beforehand,

it could influence what they're seeing in that respect. Anyways, whatever the case is, I don't imagine that just peering into lasers is all that good for you long-term. Yeah, I feel like, you know, like that's a bad thing for your eyes. Yeah, does it have to be a specific laser? I don't know. Can I just go to Walmart and get a laser? I feel like that's a bad thing for your eyes. Does it have to be a specific laser? Can I just go to Walmart and get a laser?

That's the thing. If you put that idea in their head and then you fed them a green laser and said you will see different numbers. The end of pie is in the green laser. You just put the green laser on the wall. And look, there's a lot of people that love

the search for truth through these types of things what about the people that you know they take lsd or something and they're like oh yeah i see a cloud it looks like michael jackson i mean that's just that's pareidolia sort of thing that's pareidolia that's when you look i mean you could do that not yourself by squinting and looking at a cloud outside of a plane all right so mix a drug with it i don't know it's it was never like i never understood this because I said, like, for me, when you start seeing stuff,

that was always the end of a very, very bad period of time. So I was always kind of shocked by the people that, not that I have anything wrong with them doing it, but I was always shocked by the people that really seemed to gravitate towards that because to me that was synonymous with being out of control. You know, you've reached the end point

of an experience, whether bad or good, and a lot of people swear by it. I wonder if the people that are doing DMT also are just into coding. Is this the same demographic? Everyone's chronically online. Is it hitting some part of your memory

so that's why everyone sees the same thing? Here's the question I had. Take a dude from North Sentinel Island, put him on DMT and tell him to look at the laser. Is he going to say code? He doesn't even know what that is. Right, exactly. He's going to say nothing. He's going to be like, oh, writing.

If it is writing. What I think it is is that lasers sometimes appear grainy due to what is it, like refraction on surfaces? And so all that's happening is they're hallucinating, and so the grains, their brain, it's twisting and it looks like a shape. Because when they say it's letters and numbers, why would it be in English? Like, is the code of the universe using Arabic numerals in English?

Or the Japanese symbols? Is the idea that it would look the same to somebody else, but the text would look different because it would be based on the language that they're familiar with? I think they're just tripping. Yeah. I think they're on drugs. And this is the, you know.

Bink, it says it. What do you mean? So it's funny because I've had a lot of people throughout my life say things like man i did mushrooms and then i just like i understood you got to do mushrooms and i'm like dude you have altered your brain with a chemical that's convinced you you're right let me put it this way imagine there was a brain slug that would take over your brain and make you do things like like uh the fungus the cordyceps fungus uh no no wait what's a good example? What movie was I just watching where the zombies take everybody over?

Invasion. Is that what it's called? With Nicole Kidman? You know this, Brett. 90s, right? 2007. Not a movie I saw. So an alien fungus comes, and it infects people.

And when you fall asleep, during REM sleep, the hormone release triggers the fungus's growth, which then turns you into part of this hive mind. That sounds great. And then all the hive are like going around emotionless vomiting on people to infect them. That's the movie. And so the thing is, when you're when you're infected with the fungus, you're like all the people who are infected are just like, you will be happier when you are one of us. Join us. Stop running. Our world is better we have

no violence and no crime and then once they get inoculated and cured they don't remember anything so it's like when i hear people say that i did a bunch of psychedelics and it showed me the truth and the way and wow and now i understand i'm like that's no difference than someone saying i was infected by an alien mind control virus and you should trust me and do it too i'm like i'm not interested in doing it to my brain be weary of anybody that tells you that trust me and do it too. I'm like, I'm not interested in doing it to my brain. Be wary of anybody that tells you that you need to do it too, without understanding that, you know, it's very, very, you know, a person's brain chemistry can be very, very different. Like for instance, like if you have fragile brain chemistry, those types of things, outside of controlled environments and really, really investing time into making sure that the

experience goes the way that you want it to. But in that case, you're investing a lot of time into something that's going to give you answers to yourself that you're not going to be able to convince other people that is the truth anyways, right? So for me, at the worst of the worst, I'd be up at days at a time and the wallpaper in my bathroom would turn into a maze. Am I going to tell people that and expect them? No, that's insane. Trust me, your bathroom will turn into a maze. You've going to tell people that and expect them? No. That's insane. Trust me, your bathroom will turn into a maze. You will find the end of the human existence

and all the answers at the end of the maze in your bathroom wallpaper. Look, it's insane. You're going to spend a lot of time looking at the wallpaper for no reason. And then you look at it when you're sober and you're like, where did it go? And you're talking about the time that you spent looking at the wallpaper.

Exactly. like where did it go and you're talking about the time that you spent looking at the wall right exactly yeah but yes there's a lot of people that are desperate for spirituality and what i see with a lot of the dmt stuff is people who probably should just go meet with a theologian of some sort and ask them these questions instead of just having some strange man give them a chemical substance that they think will show them the light but the thing is is it's more like to like for a lot of people it's more immersive in that moment, right? So they may have those questions and they may entertain those ideas maybe late at night before they go to bed. Obviously your brain reacts, your brain works very, very differently the longer you've been awake, not even long periods of time. But for instance, a lot of people are said to be more creative,

either late at night or early in the morning, depending on the type of person you are. And if, you know, for a lot of people, you may need that chemical to make you more immersive in asking those questions and more receptive to those answers. But a person who's truly curious about it all the time may not need that. So it almost feels like if you are a person who needs those chemicals to do that, it feels like something's being stolen from you because you want to know, you want to care, but you can't really bring yourself to think about it more frequently unless you're using something like DMT. Great. This makes me very thankful for that dare lady that came to my school telling me not

to do this crap. That increased. Yeah, it did. Dare made it worse. I don't know anything about dare. I just remember it coming. I don't know any of the outcomes of it, but this seems to be one of the things that would have been good for them to cover.

Let me tell you about the problem with these anti-drug things. In Chicago, I remember there was a story on the news, and it was like a new super potent strain or variant of opiate has now been found being sold on the south side of Chicago. That's disgusting. Where? Near 63rd and Cicero. And then a week later it was like 17 more people died after going to... A block from 63rd in

Cicero. Right. They reported that someone died from fentanyl and then a week later 13 more people died. And I'm like, yeah, because they also had to report and then went to go get it. So when I remember when the D.A.R.E. stuff was going at schools, my understanding is that the guys were like, alright kids, I'm going to teach you about cocaine. Here's what it does.

Here's meth. And then the kids were like, where do I get it? That sounds awesome. Because the adult is equipped with the brain that tells him those are bad things. You know, long-term use of this is dangerous. A kid doesn't see that. The kid just says, wow, that experience sounds like a lot of fun, right? Also, look, I don't know if this was everybody's experience, but I never had anybody randomly show up to me and say,

want some free drugs? Nobody gives out free drugs. That never happened to me, but, you know. Do you guys remember the Miami zombie? The Miami zombie? Zombies, you know, when they were doing those bath salts and other drugs. That was more effective than any anti-drug campaign, personally, because you saw the video of someone being brutally attacked.

I'm like, okay, now this is, let me stay away from whatever this stuff is. That's a side quest of Florida Man. All right, everybody. We're going to go to Super Chat. So if you haven't already, would you kindly smash that like button, subscribe to this channel, share the show with everyone you know. And it's going to be Thanksgiving. So just have a good time with your friends and family, whoever you're with, or if you're by yourself, just think about all the good things you can do and watch a good movie.

We got Alpha Turkey saying, I have lost many in my tribe. Pray that my kind makes it past Thursday. Also, Phil has small triceps. I'm going to leave that alone because it's Thanksgiving and I'm not looking to start any beef. Sea Cowboy says, it's crazy how the argument against tariffs is rooted in slave labor. I guess the Dems still haven't changed since 1860.

Ha ha. The Deplorable Miss Drake says, my husband explained it like this. No stone, burrito, or other god can be more powerful than all-powerful God. Otherwise, he wouldn't be all-powerful. So, you know, I had a great conversation with this doctor that we had on during the culture war, because the debate that I had with Andrew Wilson, and he's a theologian, so he is a very learned man, and he explained to me that my view of God predates Aquinas, and that it used to be this view that God was not bound by the rules of logic and of this universe. However, with Aquinas—and I can't do the statements justice, because this guy,

smart guy—he was basically saying that with Aquinas and other theologians and other, you know, figures in the Church, the idea is that God must follow these rules as they are true, and we know them, and so God can't be contradictory, and thus this statement, like, there can be nothing more powerful than an all-powerful God. I find that interesting. I'm not a Christian. My view of God is vastly more powerful than, I guess, the modern Christian God in that sense, because the implication that God must be bound by our determination of logic, or that what we see in logic as a small piece of God, presents a limit to God's power. My view is that what we perceive as the universe, there may be many other universes. So if this were true, that God is limited to the

existing logic that we perceive as it is component of him, that means that all universes and all realities God would ever create must follow the exact same rules, which is a limitation, which is strange to me. Anyway, no additions, huh? No, I mean, I don't have a whole lot of, like, I'm an agnostic, so I don't really have a take on whether or not, you know, what God can or can't do. I'm very aware of my own limitations. You know, I mean, look, we didn't know about radio waves

until less than 100 years ago, you know, or we't have a a really good sense of what they did we we didn't know how to see things in infrared or in x-rays or whatever so like i don't feel like i'm in a position to be like what to to be you know discussing theology just because i don't have any kind of sense of of well i'll keep it simple. Do we, as of... If we believe science, what we think we know now, and we follow that to the best of our abilities, just let's call it a hypothesis,

do we believe that there is a smallest form of matter as of right now? Well, yeah, as of right now, science, yeah. Quarks. Yeah. Right? I believe quarks. Or is it a strange matter or something? So atomic particles are... I mean, I think quarks

are the smallest. Or if you believe string theory, the strings that make up quarks and stuff like that, which are actually more like a gut. Well, so if the idea is there is a smallest, I would imagine that the universe would not be entirely infinite, at least in that degree, and maybe there would be a largest. I don't know for sure, though. What I can say is consciousness exists. We are humans. We have it. Lesser consciousness exists. We observe that every day. For what reason would anyone determine that greater consciousness does not exist? In fact, by all reason, it does. Then the question is, to what scale and which degree does consciousness exist at its most highest form? you know, whether God can or cannot do something. If I understand the theologians correctly, they say that God cannot because when they were, like when, what's his name was saying? It's against his nature.

He doesn't do things that are against his nature. So it's not that, if I understand correctly, it's not that he doesn't possess the ability. It's that because of his nature, he won't do these things. And for us to say cannot is accurate to the best of our ability. But again, I'm not really a theologian. That's not my faith-based view of the universe or reality. My view is more like a dog can't understand how a car works, and we are closely related to dogs relatively. How could a human being even begin to think that God would be confined by anything perceivable in the universe? And if we only just recently discovered the electromagnetic spectrum, the scale at which God could exist beyond this universe is unknowable by the human mind.

That's why I feel like I'm agnostic, because I can't know and I can't understand. You don't go all the way to atheism. You're still open to the idea. Yeah, because the thing is, to believe in science at all, at some point, science breaks down. So when you get back

closer to, if you believe the Big Bang, the theories that they have now is the Big Bang was the start of everything um and at some point everything that we see came out of literally nothing right so how exactly so i don't know how that works there's a great meme i love it it said uh think about it from a dog's perspective humans effectively have magic powers can fly can travel at high speeds, and they seemingly live for hundreds of years relative to a dog. They're like elves.

The way humans and elves in mythology. I've read a couple of memes where the dogs are writing stories as if human beings are the elves and stuff. They're actually very cute. To the average dog, humans are effectively immortal. Most dogs don't see human mortality.

Yeah. That's crazy. Sounds like a much better life. Maybe not most dogs, but most, like, yeah, most dogs don't deal with human mortality all that often.

You know, and I mean, that's what you're talking about is the foundation of like the idea that ignorance is bliss. You know, if you don't know, if you're, if you're unaware of things,

they, then you're, you know,, then that's a better state to be in than being aware and being anxious about the conditions of the existential... If I have some sort of terminal illness, I don't want to know. Well, I mean, I'm not sure that that's the case. I don't want to know. I'm just saying.

But that's how I would take it. Here we go. Raleigh says, Hi, Tim and crew. My wife's birthday is tomorrow. Please wish her an early happy birthday. If there is time. Happy birthday.

Happy birthday. Happy birthday. There you go. Enjoy your birthday turkey day. Or no, wait. Tomorrow's not turkey day. Not turkey day. Turkey day eve.

We got Just Cause I'm Free saying, all America wants over this holiday is justice for mocha. Give us what we want, Brett. Justice for mocha. What is that? This will never happen. Okay, so Mocha is a cat. Mocha is my girlfriend's cat. And we do a segment on our show called Cute of the Day

where viewers of the show submit their pets and we show cute pets on there. But since Mocha is not in fact cute, I can't in good conscience. Look, just because the cat has an in because I run the show doesn't mean I in good conscience can Look, just because the cat has an in because I run the show doesn't mean I in good conscience can put the cat on the screen. I'm not going to do that to the viewers.

We have two other cats that we've shown. Chloe has ended up on the show. Toast has ended up on the show. Mocha will not end up on the show. It's not my fault. The cat should have been better looking. Agreed. I still love the cat.

I just can't submit that everybody has to look at it. How about cringe of the day? Oh, that might be a good loophole. I'll have to think about that. What about ugly pets? Yeah. That would actually be really good to be like, you can submit your pets for either cute of the day

or ugly pet of the day. Is it one of those like mush face ones where its eyes go off in other directions? No, what it is is that the cat's tongue is perpetually out and it just looks in a stupor all the time. I need to see this cat! I'm always like, look,

you are a fantastic argument that my girlfriend is a saint because who could love you other than me and her? We love her. Alright, let's go. We got Chad Brammer, who says quick thing on the Star Trek four lights thing. You bring up a lot. It's borrowed from the end of 1984 when Winston is being tortured.

Yep. Oh, that's where the four lights comes from. Cause everybody now associates it with Star Trek. Yeah. But if the, the, the,

the, he does the, the, the whole thing. Cause at the end, the very end of 1984, he, the,

that's where they get the, the most, the most important command from big brother was that you actually love big brother. And at the end end of 1984, that's where they get the most important command from Big Brother was that you actually love Big Brother. And at the end, before he gets killed, spoiler alert, before he gets killed, he's actually saying, I love Big Brother. I love Big Brother. So they totally break the guy.

And they kill him anyway? And they kill him, yeah. You know, the best thing is that dude goes on to play the Chancellor in V for Vendetta. Yeah. Yeah, famous actor. Wasn't he in the Pink Floyd, The movie as well John Hurt right is that who it is John Hurt I mean Brett knows all as it pertains to pop culture uh yes everything Tim loves his like he's like oh you haven't seen Invasion from 2007 and Nicole Kidman uh that

was the one with Daniel if anything is I was looking it up that's the one with Daniel Craig where he got the announcement that he was going to be James Bond when that movie was being made. Oh, really? Zombie movies, not really my thing. But I think it's John Hurt, if you're talking to the Chancellor. I'm looking at John Hurt as the guy. John Hurt, he passed away a couple years ago. Yeah, but that was so great how he's the main dude in 1984, and then he's the Chancellor in V for Vendetta.

That was great casting. Remember, that was when the Wachowskis, they produced that movie back then. That's one of Hugo Weaving's best roles. And that is a movie that I will still re-watch every year and gets left out a lot of times when people talk about great comic book adaptations. Yeah. But he didn't really follow the comic book characters.

I mean, most of the time they don't, right? But as far as story structure, it's a fantastic... Imagine where they're like, ooh, be fearful of the Christian theocratic Britain of the fascist theocratic Christian Britain of 2006. No, he wasn't in the wall, my bad. All right. Rita Ho says the House seats are being flipped in CA. It could be 217 versus 215 until special election. Are you guys worried? Yeah, I know.

That's why it's like Matt Gaetz leaving is not good. No, he should have retaken his seat. But it's still a majority. I mean, it doesn't matter. I would have loved to have seen Matt Gaetz retake his seat there because there was that loophole. I don't know if you saw this. I had to call my attorney, who is an election lawyer, and I called him

and asked him because I saw when Matt Gaetz resigned and he was uh and then he was becoming AG he's like oh well it's really bold to jump and just go all in on AG but Matt resigned from the 118th congress not the 119th congress right which he so he could have retaken that seat why he didn't I mean there could be a myriad of reasons but it was possible I think he's going to work in the Trump administration in some capacity he's going to work in the Trump administration in some capacity. He's going to work in the Trump administration in some capacity. I think Laura Trump is going to have that seat down there if Ron DeSantis.

Oh, yeah. The congressional seat? No, no, no, no, no, no. Senate seat. Senate seat. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, let's go. That's what's going to happen.

That'd be epic. Yeah, but it's Ron DeSantis that has to do it. And Ron DeSantis, obviously, you know, maybe he's got some people that there was a floating his chief of staff, one of the seat. And so, you know, I'm tired of that type of politics where, you know, it's like you're going to have. I hope Ron DeSantis doesn't gatekeep like that. I'd like to see more. We need somebody in the Senate because the Senate is an entity, a body that thinks that they are above the people. They don't they don't because they're elected to six year terms.

They're not afraid of us. That's the problem that we see. that thinks that they are above the people. They don't, because they're elected to six-year terms. They're not afraid of us. That's the problem that we see. We don't have any real allies in the Senate. We think we do. We have some that are better than others. But, you know, if we have Laura Trump in there, she is unquestionably going to push the MAGA agenda.

I mean, that perspective is a little contrary to what I would like to see, which is the repeal of the 17th Amendment. I'd like to see the state legislatures actually elect the state, the senators, so that way... Not that I'm saying that we're going to see it, but they're going to behave like they're not accountable to the population anyways. They need to be doing things that are good

for their individual states, and the way to get that to happen is have them elected by the state legislatures. Now, I know that there are people that are going to go ahead and make a huge stink about it you're a threat to democracy well fair enough um i i'm i'm pro-republic anyways um but i do think that that that like you know in in if i could have my druthers you know if i could if i could wave a magic wand and just make it happen i absolutely absolutely would. Because the idea that the senators need to be elected by the population, I mean, that's kind of ridiculous. And to go back to your super check question real quick, it is very different. A lot of people don't know this. They still don't realize this, that congressional seats, all of

the ones that have been pulled from Congress, that is not an appointment by the governor. That is a special election that has to be called per the Constitution for that seat. So you're not going to see Ron DeSantis appointing anybody to any of those congressional seats because he can't do that. So Matt Gaetz, that seat in Florida 1, is going to sit vacant until, I believe, April, which is definitely, it's not going to help. It's not going to help put through Trump's agenda. Whoever ends up being in taking the seat, I mean, it needs to be someone that's going to be friendly to the Trump administration's policies. I mean, the agenda has been set. Again, this is there's a mandate. Yeah, there is. There is a mandate. No matter how much the left wants to, you know, scream and cry and say there's not. The entire country shifted right, the House, the Senate, and the presidency, even if it's not a mandate that the left will acknowledge, there is clearly a desire by the country to not do what the Democrats were doing. And that's actually, you can't argue that

there is, you know, that we have some kind of split in the country. There's a majority of the American people that said these policies that we have been seeing from the left and from the democrats are not working we're not happy with them and we want to change them so there's only a limited amount of time for like i said before like there's 18 months before to get as much done as possible um and and i'm hope hopeful that this is going to be you, that it'll be possible to get a lot done, but he's going to need people in both the house and the Senate to do it. Right. And as well as the administration.

Based on looking at the Senate right now, I am not particularly hopeful. I'm just not, I mean, you don't, you don't see anybody. John Thune is, he's doing a lot of talk right now.

He's got to prove it. Got to prove it to the people. All right. Carter. My says annex Canada. Thanks for my birthday wishes. I got Trump for president annex Canada, please. And elect Poliev. How do you pronounce that? Poliev? I think so.

As Sheriff of Canada, we need 2A and we need the First Amendment before we lose it all. You know what, man? I got to tell you, y'all up in Quebec, you had an opportunity, okay? You had an opportunity. You said no. I don't know if I want Canada. Do you want Canada? No. As a vassal state? We already have Canada. The problem is they let everybody into Canada.

Canada is a, at this point, it's been taken over by people from other countries. It's not even on the same scale that it's happening in the United States. I think, so here's what we do. We seize Canada. We invade. And then what we do is, within 90 miles of the northern border, those people are given an option to gain American citizenship through the standard citizenship protocols. And so that's basically almost all of the population of Canada. Then the people who enter illegally are allowed to go to Canada north of that line.

And we invest in setting up cities. And I think that includes Calgary and stuff like that. But, you know, we do – and then we say, if you want to come here, what you're going to do is we're going to place you in the north of Canada where we can build cities, and there's a lot of resources that need to be mined. I'm not saying – I'm only half kidding. I mean, if we were like, let's go mine for oil in Canada – I'm not really suggesting we invade and take over Canada. But if we were like, if you want to come to this country legally through a real process, we're going to be setting up an oil mining town in Alaska, and that's where you're going. Honestly, they're definitely going to self-deport at that point. So that's perfect.

I like your strategy. I like your plan. Self-deport. But this is what Trump is saying. He says, we want immigration. We want it legally. And so what does that mean? Legal immigration needs to put people in places where there's economic need and where it doesn't

strain local communities and put a burden on infrastructure. So if we're investing in, say, like, an oil drilling town and we need people to do the job, we can be like, we'll give you temporary worker status. You can go work in these areas. Right now, there's nothing there and we need to invest and grow those areas. That's how you do it. Well, so part of that is actually the Democrat or you're not saying that this is the same thing, but they're trying to use that argument and saying, OK, well, we need to flood Springfield, Ohio, which I spent a lot of time in, importing all these Haitians because Americans won't work for the amount of money that the Haitians do. Well, because the Haitians are paid $2 an hour in Springfield, Ohio.

So, I mean, of course you're not good. It's a lie that Americans don't want to do these jobs. Right. I'm saying it's like if we want to do like an, if we want to just invest in infrastructure in areas with low population, we can just, we got a thousand people just across the border right now. How many of you want to go to Alaska? Well, you hear about Trump's Freedom Cities, didn't you? What's that?

Nobody heard about Trump's Freedom Cities, where he said about last year that he wanted to set up ten cities in the United States that were going to be models for the world. I don't know if that's going to happen. I haven't heard anything about it since, but he put out a whole video on it. A whole video on Freedom Cities. I won't go through the entire thing, but you should definitely look into it at some point because it's...

Greenland. Greenland has come back onto the table. And what's Denmark going to do about it? Good luck stopping us. Isn't it kind of wild that Denmark actually

has dominion over Greenland? Denmark? Yeah, Denmark. Denmark's this big. Greenland's this big. How does that work? They had a bunch of Vikings, I guess, went there and took over.

Stolen land. All right. Jaguar is owned by Tata Motors, an Indian automaker. Yes, it is. So they may know less about our market than the Brits. I mean, like I said earlier, they're not going to market to people that are Gen Z. They're marketing to millennials and Gen X. They're certainly not marketing to Indians because there's anything I know about Indians.

They are less likely to buy a car with that sort of marketing, especially in the United States. So I don't know where they're going with that one. All right. Wilt says Univision will purchase MSNBC. Mark my words. Univision, huh? Yeah, Univision. More consolidation. You think they actually continue to go through with that sale

knowing that Elon Musk... How are we going to outbid Elon Musk? He's challenging them at this point. Is he really going to buy it, though? I don't think that he's going to buy it. It doesn't make any sense. It's a great meme, but it doesn't make any sense. Okay, but the meme value is priceless. Twitter had meme value and solid

choices behind it because there was a lot of information that needed to pass through twitter there's one move there's one and it's not putting joe rogan and machel's rachel machel rachel maddow show with the glasses it's buying msnbc and just giving it to alex jones yeah that's the only real meme you can do no way elon i'm just to say it's much more possible than you think it is. That he puts Alex Jones on MSNBC? That's all I'm going to say. I will not say anything further. The idea here is that it has to...

That would be the greatest thing ever. It has to maintain itself, right? So it needs to sell ad space, and you're not going to sell ad space. No, it's got carriage fees. Okay. So if Alex is basically running a broadcast with minimal technology, it's dirt cheap these days, and you's got carriage fees okay uh so if if alex is basically running a broadcast with minimal like technology it's it's dirt cheap these days and you've got carriage fees i would say this the most demoralizing thing to the woke mind virus would be buying msnbc and putting alex jones on it yeah because right now they're hooting about how onions got it and they're gonna win and

they shut down alex jones elon hear me you do this, it will be one of the greatest things and it would be the final nail in the coffin of wokeness. This is presidential medal of freedom type stuff. Do it. Do it. You could buy it and then, I mean, obviously you could simulcast on the InfoWars channel or on the internet as well as on the regular... Garage fees.

Whatever you buy it for, there's guaranteed revenue coming in, which is why it's going to be a bit more expensive because they're going to factor that in. But if you buy MSNBC Whatever you buy it for, there's guaranteed revenue coming in, which is why it's going to be a bit more expensive, because they're going to factor that in. But if you buy MSNBC and you treat it seriously and put real shows on it, actually put real content on it, you'll recover some viewership. Fox has viewership. And then you give Alex Jones like a primetime slot. Or actually, what was Jones' slot?

It was like noon, wasn't it? 11 to 2? Yeah, just do that. And the crying from these people, they would be completely demoralized. Right. And that's what we need. I mean, I think that might be the nail in the coffin there. I think that's what needs to be done. I wish.

It ain't my money, so of course I'm telling you, Elon, spend your money. I'm not going to do it. If I had the money to buy MSNBC, I would do that in two seconds. Yep. Two seconds. I wish. Yep. Maybe that's why we gotta make a billion dollars or something so we can do that.

Well, we can start a GoFundMe like the DNC. Maybe we could... Let's ask ChatGPT what MSNBC is worth. What is MSNBC worth if it were to sell? Let's see if they can give me an answer. Searching.

They don't know. Around $46.4 million, considering their revenue streams. That is pathetic. That is absolutely... TimCast might be worth more than that. Wow. Her YouTube show. I mean, that is wild. That's wildly low.

If that's the case... All her daddies did a bigger contract than that. If that's the case, then all you need is just backers. Because that's how Elon... Obviously, he's got a lot of property to back up his $44 million on Twitter, but...

There are people in Musk's network who have the means. Vivek Ramaswamy could do it. Yep. Vivek bought BuzzFamy could do it. Yep. Vivek bought BuzzFeed, so I bought BuzzFeed stock. I made a bunch of money. But, you know, so I don't know. How are they going to do it?

So Comcast wants to spin off MSNBC. Do they say all their cable channels? So do you get CNBC, too? Because CNBC actually is worth some money. So CNBC is... Yeah, but I disagree. I mean, technically, yes, but for how much longer? Well, I mean, you fire Jim Cramer and you add a lot of value to it.

There you go. Gwyneth Paltrow has that brand goop with all the creepy products. That sold for like $250 million. Good grief. So if she can sell that for $250 million... Yeah, but she was probably selling a lot of product. Yeah. Like the thing where the women would jam it up in them.

Yep. That's weird stuff. But I don't know. What do I know? I'm just a guy. Basically, all of these, like what was it? Call Her Daddy sold for $100 million or more than that. Like all of these valuations on these things are enormous at the time.

But then you get MSNBC, which doesn't have any growth because Call Her Daddy is a podcast, which is on a platform that is growing in viewership, whereas terrestrial media is collapsing. Well, think about Joe Rogan. Would Joe Rogan sell the license to his podcast, the Spotify, for like a year for $100 million? A one-year license to his content on Spotify? I think his deal right now is two years. The original one was...

The original one was like two years for... $250? Something like that. No, it was $150. Somebody in the chat is correcting us right now. Yeah, but I know the deal he has now is Spotify controls the ad sales, but it's like 200-something million over three. And it's not exclusive. No, he can put it.

No, no, no. They own his advertising. That's why. Oh, gotcha, gotcha. That's why when he did the Trump episode, he unlisted it on YouTube because it's supposed to go simultaneously on all platforms. And there was an issue on Spotify. So he paused it on the other platforms to try and get Spotify to work. Because Spotify, I think the deal was, I could be wrong, but they bought the ad rights to the show.

So he gets a guaranteed amount of money. And then when he does ad reads, it's Spotify in full control. And then I think the way it works is until he makes more in ads than they pay him, he's just getting that flat guarantee. But I could be wrong. I don't know. That's just I read it on the Internet. So it's not right. My friends, we are we are we are getting to that time.

So I'll try and grab one more super chat because it's almost time for the holidays. There's an announcement. The Trump Trump is nominated Dr. Bhattacharya to. That's right. I saw that. So that came. That's a big deal.

And this is a guy who guy who wrote about shutting down, stopping the lockdowns. And so everybody's like, this is it. Yeah, it's a big deal. So we'll grab, we'll just grab one last super chat here. Askabout says, I believe you were speaking to Anselm's ontological arguments and not Aquinas' five ways. Anselm said, God is a being

than which nothing greater can be conceived. Well, specifically it was told to me, and then I looked it up, that Aquinas had made the argument about logic. My view is that human understanding of logic doesn't apply to any God that created this universe. I understand the Christian argument. I just don't believe it.

The argument being that logic is a component of God's nature, and that's why God has created the universe. That's why the universe flows in such a way. I don't see God as being limited in those ways. I think God's ability to create is beyond our comprehension of creation itself. I believe that the ability God has to create a universe exceeds the concept of creation in general. But that's just me. So I'll wrap it up there, my friends. Smash that like button. Share the show. We are off for the rest of the week, but we're back on Monday because it's time to go spend time with family.
